Falcon

The first flight of SpaceX's Falcon Heavy rocket is scheduled for January 31.It will be the most powerful operational booster in the world –​ at twice the capacity of its nearest rival. To get a sense of perspective, let's see how it stacks up to the granddaddy of all space rockets, the Saturn V.

​SpaceX has been carrying supplies to the International Space Station (ISS) for more than five years, but the company achieved something special with its latest visit, completing the mission using a refurbished Falcon 9 rocket and Dragon spacecraft together for the first time. ​​

SpaceX showed some tongue in cheek humility as it released a "blooper" video of the series of crashes and explosions leading up to the first successful landing of the Falcon 9 first stage booster. The compilation shows the many ways that things can go wrong during a landing.

The US Air Force's not-so-secret spaceplane is getting a new ride this month, when the fifth X-37B Orbital Test Vehicle (OTV-5) lifts off atop a SpaceX Falcon 9 booster from Launch Pad 39A at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida.

Bentley wasn't exactly aiming for the mass market when it launched the Bentayga and, unless you're into swanning about with a bird of prey strapped to your arm, the latest iteration is unlikely to broaden the appeal.

SpaceX made history again today with the second successful launch and powered landing​ of a Falcon 9 booster. The recycled rocket lifted off from the Kennedy Space Center to deliver the SES-10 communications satellite into orbit before returning to Earth to touch down on an unmanned seabarge.​

SpaceX's Falcon 9 blasted off for the International Space Station from the same launch pad used by the Apollo 11 mission. At 9:38 am EST, the CRS-10 mission lifted off from Launch Complex 39A at the Kennedy Space Center carrying an unmanned Dragon cargo ship.

SpaceX's Falcon 9 booster roared back into service today over four months after a disastrous launch pad explosion threw its future into doubt.

​After four months of intensive investigation, SpaceX says that its Falcon 9 booster has been cleared for flight and will return to service on January 8.

SpaceX has suffered another setback with the first manned flight of its Crew Dragon spacecraft being delayed until 2018. According to NASA, the SpaceX Demonstration Mission 2 will not fly until May 2018 instead of in the second quarter of 2017 as previously planned.

​SpaceX has set back the date for its next Falcon 9 launch until sometime in January. The company says the much anticipated return after a Falcon 9's launchpad explosion on September 1 was delayed to make time to ensure the safety of the flight.

​With a pretty crowded launch manifesto and plans for deep space exploration, there are a few interested parties eyeing SpaceX's next move following the recent launchpad explosion that took out its Falcon 9 rocket. We've just gotten our clearest indication yet of what that will be.
