DRAGON 2 is a class of reusable spacecraft developed and manufactured by American aerospace manufacturer SpaceX, conceived as the successor to the Dragon cargo spacecraft. The spacecraft are designed for launches atop a Falcon 9 Block 5 rocket and a splashdown return. The first orbital test of Crew Dragon 2 (CREW DRAGON DEMO-1) was an uncrewed mission, designated SpX-DM1 and launched March 2, 2019. The spacecraft tested the approach and automated docking procedures with the ISS, will remain docked until March 8th, 2019, then conduct the full re-entry, splashdown and recovery steps to qualify for a crewed mission. Life support systems are monitored all along the test flight. The same capsule will be re-used in June for an in-flight abort test.
