Bankers joined scientists on the edge of their seats in May as the
SpaceX Dragon capsule successfully berthed with the International Space
Station. The SpaceX Dragon was the first privately-owned spacecraft in
history to deliver supplies to the Space Station astronauts.
U.S. Bank was the first lender and bank partner of Hawthorne-based Space Exploration Technologies Corp. (SpaceX). With a senior credit facility that supports their day-to-day business, U.S. Bank will continue to support SpaceX as they expand private space flight, delivering supplies to the space station in the years following the retirement of NASA's Space Shuttle program.
"We were thrilled to watch SpaceX make history," said Sean Foley, regional chairman of U.S. Bank in southern California.
"The team at SpaceX deserves tremendous recognition not only for their pioneering role in this new era of space flight, but also for creating a model for efficiency and environmental consciousness in the rockets and capsules they have built. We're proud to be their bank."
