SpaceX Dragon 1 was a class of fourteen partially reusable cargo spacecraft developed by SpaceX and launched by its Falcon 9 rocket to resupply the International Space Station. The spacecraft flew 23 missions between 2010 and 2020. On its maiden flight in December 2010 Dragon became the first commercially built and operated spacecraft to be recovered successfully from orbit, and on May 25, 2012 it became the first commercial spacecraft to rendezvous with and attach to the station. Regular cargo flights under NASA's Commercial Resupply Services contract began in October 2012, and in June 2017 a capsule largely assembled from previously flown components flew again on CRS-11. Its last flight, CRS-20, launched on March 7, 2020 and retired the Dragon 1 fleet; later resupply missions use the Cargo Dragon variant of the Dragon 2 spacecraft.
