mongorestore is the tool used to import the data. The data was exported using mongodump and contains all the collections, indexes, and documents.

In your shell of choice, run the following:

mongorestore --gzip --archive=path/to/database/backup --db=spacex-api

This command defaults to the mongo instance running on localhost with no password. If you have authentication set up, you'll need to add it to the command per the mongorestore instructions
