Rocket Launches in 2010

Spaceflight in 2010: SpaceX's Falcon 9 flies for the first time in June, and in December its Dragon capsule becomes the first spacecraft recovered from orbit by a private company. Japan's Hayabusa brings back the first samples from an asteroid, and IKAROS, also from Japan, becomes the first solar sail in interplanetary space. The US Air Force's X-37B spaceplane makes its first flight.
