About the Project


THE ASK
SpaceX was founded in 2002 by Elon Musk with the goal of
reducing space transportation costs to enable the colonization
of Mars. SpaceX manufactures the Falcon 9 and Falcon
Heavy launch reusable vehicles, several rocket engines, Cargo
Dragon, and crew spacecraft. They needed more immediate
space for building and testing rocket ships.

HOW SPRUNG DELIVERED


SpaceX needed much-needed manufacturing space quickly.
After seeing firsthand how Sprung performed in supplying
Tesla with a model three production facility in 20 days, SpaceX
turned to Sprung Structures who designed and engineered
three 150’ wide structures within a few short weeks of order.
The scale of the SpaceX Falcon 9 is significant in scope which
meant that a standard 150’ wide structure needed additional
clearances. Sprung developed a unique anchoring system
on two levels of containers to gain additional manufacturing
height. We also provided a customized door large enough to
handle manufactured rockets without the typical “special order”
delays. SpaceX continues to innovate space technologies and
Sprung continues to respond to their needs including smaller


storage structures, new door systems and facility upgrades.

Currently manufacturing is underrated, and


design is overrated.”
“ Basically, the amount of effort that goes into the
design rounds down to zero. Relative to the effort
that goes into the manufacturing system.”

– Elon Musk, July 2021

I think fundamentally the future is vastly more


exciting and interesting if we’re a space faring
civilization and a multi-planet species than if we’re
are not. You want to be inspired by things. You
want to wake up in the morning and think the future
is going to be great. And that’s what being a space
faring civilization is all about.”
