Goldman Sachs is the lead underwriter on the prospectus, followed by Morgan Stanley, Bank of America, Citigroup and JPMorgan Chase.

SpaceX was founded by Elon Musk in 2002 to develop and operate reusable rockets. The company has become NASA's largest launch partner since the agency ended its space shuttle program in 2011. SpaceX operates the Starlink satellite internet service and maintains a constellation of around 10,000 satellites.
