Billionaire Elon Musk's SpaceX has raised about $850 million in equity financing, the private rocket launch service said in a regulatory filing on Tuesday.
The private space company had raised $1.9 billion in August in its largest single fundraising round, according to financial software and data provider PitchBook.
Earlier this month, a prototype of SpaceX's Starship rocket exploded during a landing attempt after a high-altitude test launch.
The SN9 prototype was a test model of the heavy-lift rocket being developed by the company to carry humans and 100 tons of cargo on future missions to the moon and Mars.
