SpaceX Starlink IPO
Upcoming IPO 2021
It also allows public investors to take part in the offering. The IPO
provides the company with an opportunity to grow and expand.
IPOs can offer exciting investment opportunities - it’s often the first
chance to invest in a major, global brand. But they often happen very
quickly, with little notice. Sometimes investors only have a week or two
to take part.
We hope this investor report has provided a good insight into SpaceX
and its upcoming IPO, a solid opportunity for investment.
Yours faithfully,

Over the past decade, SpaceX has achieved multiple firsts: it was the first private corporation to send a space-faring
craft into Earth's orbit, the first to launch a satellite into orbit and then successfully land the rocket back to Earth
(something NASA has struggled to accomplish for decades), first to land its Falcon 9 rocket on a sea-based landing
pad (something NASA hasn't even attempted to do), first to re-launch already used rockets, and the first corporation
to present an actual working masterplan to colonize Mars.
As one of the world's fastest-growing providers of space launch services, SpaceX has added over 100 missions to its
manifest, representing more than USD 12 billion on contract. These include commercial satellite launches as well
as multiple missions for the US government.
In 2008, NASA awarded SpaceX a USD 1.6 billion contract to transport cargo to the International Space Station (ISS).
In May 2012, its Dragon spacecraft reached the ISS, which was the first-time private corporation-built craft had
achieved this. In September 2014, NASA awarded SpaceX a USD 2.6 billion contract to transport NASA astronauts
into space. Much to the benefit of SpaceX, NASA is increasingly dependent on using private companies to complete
their missions.
A significant innovation is the company's booster rockets, which are reusable and can be flown as many as ten times.
The company's Falcon 9 spacecraft costs USD 62 million to book, while a Falcon Heavy mission will cost USD 90
million.
SpaceX Starlink IPO
SpaceX Spin-off Project
SpaceX has passed a number of milestones in recent years, including returning its first NASA astronauts from space
successfully, winning hundreds of millions of dollars in Pentagon contracts, launching hundreds more Starlink
satellites to orbit to build its global internet network, and conducting two test flights of its next-generation Starship
rocket.
The company also in August sought $2.1 billion in a new round of equity funding, which valued SpaceX at near $44
billion. Starlink is SpaceX's plan to build an interconnected network of around 12,000 small satellites, which will
deliver high-speed broadband internet for the masses anywhere in the world.
Starlink is a venture for which SpaceX has been steadily collecting capital, and will potentially cost the company
over USD 10 billion to build the satellite network. SpaceX raised over USD 1.3 billion in new funding last year, with
recent investor Ontario Teachers taking notice of Starlink's future growth potential prospects.
If SpaceX can solve the technological challenges of building and distributing this service, the company's potential
demand and revenue are undoubtedly promising. Elon Musk, CEO of SpaceX, in May, told reporters that Starlink
could achieve a yearly revenue around USD 30 billion or about ten times the highest annual revenue it projected
from its core rocket business.
Standard fibre optic cables that transmit information worldwide use electronic signals which are then converted
into light. The light waves continuously reflect along the walls of the fibre optic cables whose interior is composed
of glass. Upon analysis of these means of transmitting information, the main drawback that is limiting the speed of
these cables and the transmission of data is the medium by which the light must pass through. Space is a vacuum,
which means that when light is transmitted through space, its speed is constant.
In other words, if the existing method transmitting data worldwide using light were transferred into space, the
efficiency of this service would improve exponentially. In fact, light travels 47 per cent slower in glass in comparison
to in a vacuum such as space.

In Australia, filings for four ground stations have been made, along with two in New Zealand and a couple more
in France. Other countries with SpaceX affiliates are Austria, Chile, Colombia, Japan, Mexico, The Netherlands,
Norway, South Africa, and the United Kingdom.
The highly possible SpaceX IPO comes as founder Elon Musk's Tesla (TSLA) stock recently hit a record high. Musk
has previously maintained that a SpaceX IPO will not happen until after it begins regular missions to Mars. But he
has also said that capital from Starlink would help launch the Mars missions.
Starlink could be a stable and sizable source of cash flow for SpaceX to tap to fund its expensive research and space
exploration projects. Starlink revenue will likely play an important role in valuing SpaceX if and when the company
decides to go public.
The forward-thinking attitude of Elon Musk and his company about the commercialization of the final frontier is
largely responsible for the increase in enthusiasm to invest in the campaign.
