SpaceX memenangkan kontrak NASA senilai $1,6 miliar pada 23 Desember 2008 untuk 12 penerbangan roket Falcon 9 dan wahana antariksa Dragon ke [[International Space Station]], menggantikan program ''Space Shuttle'' setelah dihentikan tahun 2011. Awalnya, Falcon 9/Dragon akan menggantikan fungsi angkut kargo ''Shuttle'' dan transportasi astronaut akan ditangani [[Soyuz spacecraft|Soyuz]]. Akan tetapi, SpaceX telah merancang Falcon 9/Dragon dengan kemampuan angkut astronaut dan [[Review of United States Human Space Flight Plans Committee|komisi Augustine]] merekomendasikan agar transportasi astronaut ditangani oleh perusahaan komersial seperti SpaceX.<ref>{{cite web|first=Christopher|last=Hinton|date=13 August 2009|publisher=Marketwatch|title=NASA committee seeks more private industry involvement|url= http://www.marketwatch.com/story/nasa-group-seeks-more-private-industry-involvement-2009-08-13|access-date=2013-09-10|archive-date=2014-11-28|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141128232244/http://www.marketwatch.com/story/nasa-group-seeks-more-private-industry-involvement-2009-08-13|dead-url=no}}</ref>

Dalam kurun tujuh tahun, SpaceX merancang keluarga wahana luncur Falcon dan wahana antariksa serbaguna Dragon dari nol. Bulan September 2009, roket SpaceX Falcon 1 menjadi wahana berbahan bakar cair swasta pertama yang menempatkan satelit di orbit Bumi. NASA memilih SpaceX sebagai bagian dari program pertama yang memercayakan perusahaan swasta untuk mengirim kargo ke International Space Station. Kontrak ini, dengan nilai minimal $1,6 miliar dan nilai maksimal $3,1 miliar, menjadi titik balik akses pengiriman kargo ke dan dari stasiun luar angkasa. Selain layanan ini, tujuan SpaceX adalah menurunkan biaya penerbangan luar angkasa orbital dan memperbarui keandalannya menurut urutan kepentingannya, serta menciptakan wahana luncur orbit yang dapat dipakai kembali. Pada tahun-tahun selanjutnya, Musk akan berfokus mengirimkan astronaut ke International Space Station, namun ia juga menyatakan bahwa tujuan pribadinya adalah memungkinkan penjelajahan dan kolonisasi Mars oleh manusia. Dalam wawancara tahun 2011, ia mengungkapkan harapannya agar bisa mengirim manusia ke permukaan Mars dalam kurun 10–20 tahun mendatang.<ref>{{cite news|title=Elon Musk: I'll Put a Man on Mars in 10 Years|url=http://www.marketwatch.com/video/asset/elon-musk-ill-put-a-man-on-mars-in-10-years-2011-04-22/CCF1FC62-BB0D-4561-938C-DF0DEFAD15BA#!CCF1FC62-BB0D-4561-938C-DF0DEFAD15BA|newspaper=Market Watch|date=22 April 2011|publisher=The Wall Street Journal|location=New York|accessdate=2011-12-01|archiveurl=httphttps://www.webcitation.org/63bvaGo3E?url=http://www.marketwatch.com/video/asset/elon-musk-ill-put-a-man-on-mars-in-10-years-2011-04-22/CCF1FC62-BB0D-4561-938C-DF0DEFAD15BA#!CCF1FC62-BB0D-4561-938C-DF0DEFAD15BA|archivedate=1 December 2011-12-01|dead-url=no}}</ref>
