This is a timeline of SpaceX, which attempts to describe important events in the history of the company. All completed missions are included.

Big picture

Time period Development summary
2006–2009 Early period of SpaceX, which involves the development of Falcon 1, an expendable launch system. Five missions are completed in this period, all of them launched in Kwajalein Atoll.
2010–2013 SpaceX Dragon is introduced, and becomes the first commercially built and operated spacecraft to be recovered successfully from orbit.[1] SpaceX becomes the first private company to launch a payload into orbit and return it to Earth intact. Cape Canaveral becomes Spacex's main launch site.
2014–2016 Strong period of growth. In 2014 SpaceX scheduled 14 launches, one more than it had done from 2006 through 2013. In 2014, SpaceX also began construction on its own spaceport in South Texas.[2] In 2015, Spacex made progress with landing and reusing unmanned rockets. In 2016, Spacex was on the list due to the discovery of the first step towards decreasing the costs of spaceflights.[3] In 2017, Spacex more than doubled the number of completed missions achieved in 2016.
2017 SpaceX achieves one of its great ambitions, the recovery and reuse of rockets.
