SpaceX is approaching a milestone few space companies or governments could have imagined two decades ago: nearly matching the rest of the world combined in total orbital payload launches since Sputnik.

SpaceX is preparing to send 24 more Starlink satellites into low Earth orbit from Vandenberg, marking its 50th dedicated Starlink mission of the year.

A CleanTechnica report cites CNBC and a SpaceX prospectus as speculation grows around a possible merger between Tesla and SpaceX, highlighting deepening cross-company transactions and leadership overlap.

A new Space Force agreement with SpaceX aims to put an early space-based airborne target-tracking capability in orbit by 2028, years ahead of earlier expectations.

The U.S. Space Force has awarded SpaceX a $4.16 billion contract to accelerate the first capability for space-based airborne moving target indication.

The U.S. Space Force has formally confirmed a $2.29 billion contract giving SpaceX responsibility for the Space Data Network Backbone, a low-Earth-orbit communications layer meant to connect sensors and shooters globally

The U.S. Space Force has awarded SpaceX $2.29 billion to speed development of a low Earth orbit communications backbone for the Space Data Network, with an operational prototype due by the end of 2027.

Cryptocurrency investor Chun Wang says he is working with SpaceX toward a future Starship flyby of Mars, an idea that would extend the current era of private astronaut missions far beyond Earth orbit.

A Falcon 9 carrying 29 Starlink V2 Mini Optimized satellites is scheduled to lift off from Cape Canaveral as SpaceX continues to expand its fast-growing broadband constellation.

The first flight of SpaceX’s redesigned Starship V3 achieved stage separation, payload deployment and re-entry milestones even as booster and engine issues kept the mission from a fully nominal profile.

SpaceX’s first Starship Version 3 launch reached space and deployed 22 Starlink simulators, but early engine shutdowns on both stages underscored how much work remains before the upgraded vehicle is routine.

SpaceX is preparing the first launch of Starship Version 3, a suborbital test meant to debut upgraded hardware, deploy simulator satellites, and gather data for future return and reuse goals.

A new SpaceX prospectus and the company’s next test flight plans make clear that Starship is no longer just an ambitious rocket program. It is central to the company’s launch, Starlink and lunar ambitions.

SpaceX has filed for an initial public offering, disclosing revenue, EBITDA, Starlink subscriber growth and heavy investment in Starship as it seeks one of the biggest listings in recent memory.

SpaceX’s public filing ahead of a planned IPO shows surging revenue, a swing to loss in 2025, and a company positioning AI as a market potentially far larger than launch or satellite internet.

Northrop Grumman says its Mission Robotic Vehicle, developed with DARPA, is finally manifested for launch this summer, a milestone that could deliver the first U.S. robotic satellite-servicing capability in orbit.

A worker died at SpaceX’s Starbase launch complex in South Texas on May 15, prompting an OSHA investigation that adds to long-running scrutiny of safety conditions at the company’s high-profile Starship hub.

SpaceX launched its CRS-34 cargo mission to the International Space Station with almost 3,000 kilograms of supplies and experiments, marking the first sixth flight for a cargo Dragon capsule.

NASA’s Artemis III is no longer the first crewed return to the lunar surface. Instead, the mission is being reshaped into a crewed Earth-orbit test designed to prove that Orion and commercial lunar landers can work as a,

NASA’s 34th SpaceX commercial resupply mission lifted off for the International Space Station carrying nearly 6,500 pounds of cargo and a new batch of science experiments.
