SpaceX is an aerospace manufacturer and space transportation company with the goal of reducing space transportation costs and ultimately enabling the colonization of Mars. The company has revolutionized the aerospace industry primarily through the development and deployment of reusable rockets, most notably the Falcon 9 and Falcon Heavy, which significantly lowers the cost of orbital launches.
SpaceX is preparing for a mid-to-late 2026 IPO, aiming for a valuation of around $1.5 trillion and looking to raise $30 billion. A substantial portion of the proceeds will accelerate the development of space-based data centers, which are rapidly becoming one of SpaceX’s key priorities. These orbital facilities are designed to support advanced artificial intelligence and high-performance computing directly in space, positioning the company to build a new computational layer above Earth — and to anchor the next era of AI-driven infrastructure in orbit.
SpaceX, headquartered in Hawthorne, California, United States, was founded in 2002 by Elon Musk. In 2012, the company joined the unicorn club. Its operational efficiency is unmatched, with the company consistently achieving a launch cadence averaging two missions per week, dominating the global launch market and rapidly deploying its satellite infrastructure.
