Every time SpaceX launches a partially reusable Falcon 9 spacecraft into orbit, it charges its customer up to $74 million. According to SpaceX's launch capabilities and services page, these rockets can carry 22 tons of cargo to low Earth orbit when operating in expendable mode -- a bit less when the first stage is reused.

SpaceX launched two Falcon 9 rockets on March 17, each carrying Starlink satellites into low Earth orbit. The company now has more than 10,000 active satellites in its constellation.

The company announced that its Vera Rubin Space Module, which includes the IGX Thor and Jetson Orin platforms, delivers up to 25x more AI compute for space-based inferencing. This will enable next-generation compute for orbital data centers, advanced geospatial intelligence processing, and autonomous space operations, Nvidia said.

Blue Origin paused its space tourism flights to focus on its lunar lander and New Glenn launches in Florida, creating an opening for Virgin Galactic.
