Dragon is a free-flying
spacecraft designed to deliver both cargo and people to orbiting destinations.
It is the only spacecraft currently flying that is capable of returning
significant amounts of cargo to Earth. Currently Dragon carries cargo to space,
but it was designed from the beginning to carry humans. The first demonstration
flight under NASA’s commercial Crew Program launched on March 2,2019 at 2:49a.m
ET. The Dragon spacecraft successfully docked with the space station ahead of
schedule at 6:02a.m, ET on March 3, 2019, becoming the first American
spacecraft in history to autonomously dock with the International Space
Station.
