SpaceX Dragon

Spacecraft and Launch Vehicles

Dragon is a family of spacecraft developed and produced by SpaceX. The first variant, later named Dragon 1, flew 23 cargo missions to the International Space Station between 2010 and 2020, funded by NASA through the Commercial Orbital Transportation Services program and contracted under Commercial Resupply Services. The improved Dragon 2, introduced in 2019, has both crewed and cargo versions: after the uncrewed Demo-1 test in March 2019 and the crewed Demo-2 test in May 2020, Crew Dragon became one of the main spacecraft ferrying astronauts to and from the station, while Cargo Dragon carries supplies. SpaceX has also proposed Red Dragon for Mars exploration and Dragon XL for the Lunar Gateway. This family entry sits above the separate Dragon 1 and Dragon 2 entries.
