Which private company launched the first private space mission?

The question asks about the first private company to launch a space mission. SpaceX, founded by Elon Musk, achieved this significant milestone. In 2012, their Dragon spacecraft successfully docked with the International Space Station (ISS), marking the first time a private company delivered cargo to the ISS. This event revolutionized commercial spaceflight.

• Blue Origin, founded by Jeff Bezos, is another prominent private space company but did not achieve this specific 'first'.
• Galactic (Virgin Galactic) focuses primarily on suborbital space tourism.
• Boeing is a major aerospace contractor but was not the first private entity to launch a mission to the ISS.
