2. Space Exploration Technologies Corporation Spacex.com SpaceX Summary Founded in mid 2002 with the singular goal of providing high reliability, low cost space transportation Initial target market is government & commercial satellites to minimize market risk Transition to human transportation once technology is proven Silicon Valley mode of operation – flat hierarchy, high engineer to manager ratio, rapid prototype iteration, best idea wins 270 employees Six buildings (100,000 sqft) of office and manufacturing space in Southern California 300 acre propulsion and structural test facility in Texas Launch complexes in Kwajalein, Vandenberg, and Cape Canaveral In less than 5 years, what have we achieved?

3. Space Exploration Technologies Corporation Spacex.com SpaceX Highlights Executed 2 Demonstration Falcon 1 flights and gathered enough data on the vehicle and supporting systems to comfortably move towards operational status Numerous improvements made to the Falcon 1 vehicle, ground system and Quality processes based on first two demonstrations Substantial progress on Falcon 9 and Dragon development Have 11 flights on the manifest

Space Exploration Technologies Corporation Spacex.com Falcon 1 Demo Flight 2 Second Demonstration of the Falcon 1 a near complete success for a test flight Falcon 1 reached space Fastest recycle ever demonstrated All major flight regime command modes validated Validated first and second stage propulsion Validated all vehicle structures Validated all vehicle avionics 289km altitude; 5.1 km/s Reduced pad acoustic environments Photos courtesy of USAKA

6. Space Exploration Technologies Corporation Spacex.com What was not achieved? One significant issue: 2 nd stage control Still under investigation, likely slosh-related As a result the following are not flight verified Full duration Kestrel burn Terminal Guidance and Orbit Insertion Accuracy Avionics Payload Separation Avionics Coast Power & Attitude control Thermal control on Avionics Transmitter (2nd Burn) 2nd Burn Guidance Lesser Issues: 2 nd Stage LOX QD anomaly Lower than expected helium margin Slight 1 st Stage under-performance (still would have made orbit) Fairing separation anomaly Re-contact on stage separation 1 st Stage was not recovered

19. Space Exploration Technologies Corporation Spacex.com The NASA COTS Project NASA is making an unprecedented co- investment in commercial space transportation services to create a competitive market for ISS flights Limited resources and the space shuttle's pending retirement has created a favorable environment for COTS partnership Through a Space Act Agreement with NASA, SpaceX will develop and demonstrate an in-space transportation system, Dragon Three demonstration flights (late 2008-late 2009)—the third to approach and berth with the ISS It is a safe bet: we only get paid when we accomplish a milestone Other government organizations are interested in the project and the flexibility of the SpaceX solution
