US-based launch company SpaceX has secured $1.9bn in the latest funding round.
According to a filing with the US Securities and Exchange Commission, 75 investors have participated in the offering. This funding values the company at $46bn.
Details about the investors that participated in the offering remains undisclosed.
The total offering amount was $2.066bn. The company noted that the total remaining offering to be sold is $164.99m in equity and preferred stock.
The fundraising was earlier reported by Bloomberg late last month.
The new funding follows after the company raised an additional $346m in May.
It also follows after a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket carrying the company’s Crew Dragon spacecraft launched Nasa astronauts Douglas Hurley and Robert Behnken to the International Space Station.
Nasa’s SpaceX Demo-2 flight demonstrated the company’s crew transportation system.
On 18 August, SpaceX launched its 11th Starlink mission from Space Launch Complex 40 (SLC-40) at Florida’s Cape Canaveral Air Force Station.
It included 58 Starlink satellites and three of Planet’s SkySats.
The company operates more than 600 satellites in low-Earth orbit.
In June, SpaceX’s Starship prototype has exploded during test-firing at its private launch site in Boca Chica, Texas, US.
