About
Founded by Elon Musk in 2002, SpaceX is the dominant launch provider of the modern era, Falcon 9 has flown more orbital missions than any rocket in history. The company is developing Starship, the fully-reusable super-heavy lift vehicle that NASA selected as the Human Landing System for Artemis III and IV.
Starship HLS will dock with Orion in NRHO, carry crew down to the lunar south polar region, and lift them back to NRHO for the return to Earth, the first crewed lunar landing since Apollo 17.
