There is a pressurized capsule that can carry people and environmentally sensitive cargo. It was launched on March 2nd, 2019 at 2:49 am and was the first American spacecraft to autonomously dock with the International Space Station. This spacecraft is also reusable. Its purpose was to replace the space shuttle. It can carry up to 7,300 pounds]]> 2020-03-09 17:21:20 UTC https://padlet.com/17029811/beabw4bc0upx/wish/457036579 17029811 https://padlet.com/17029811/beabw4bc0upx/wish/457037468 This is a picture of the Dragon orbiting Earth ]]> 2020-03-09 17:22:29 UTC https://padlet.com/17029811/beabw4bc0upx/wish/457037468 17029811 https://padlet.com/17029811/beabw4bc0upx/wish/457054009 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hJ5hjLz_U-w ]]> 2020-03-09 17:43:30 UTC https://padlet.com/17029811/beabw4bc0upx/wish/457054009 17029811 https://padlet.com/17029811/beabw4bc0upx/wish/457979862 2020-03-10 22:07:00 UTC https://padlet.com/17029811/beabw4bc0upx/wish/457979862 17029811 https://padlet.com/17029811/beabw4bc0upx/wish/458553012 Right now, the Dragon is right here in Florida, getting ready to launch its first mission with astronauts.

The trunk plays a key role for the spacecraft because it supports it. Within the nose of the cabin, there are these things called Draco Thrusters which allow orbital maneuvering. ]]> 2020-03-11 17:37:10 UTC https://padlet.com/17029811/beabw4bc0upx/wish/458578170 17029811 https://padlet.com/17029811/beabw4bc0upx/wish/458764164 The spacecraft will drift away from the International Space Station and then it will activate its engine. Also, it will do a "deorbit burn" which is the act of firing up the engines so it is able to travel back to Earth. ]]> 2020-03-11 22:10:12 UTC https://padlet.com/17029811/beabw4bc0upx/wish/458764164 17029811 https://padlet.com/17029811/beabw4bc0upx/wish/459360476 2020-03-12 17:11:58 UTC https://padlet.com/17029811/beabw4bc0upx/wish/459360476 17029811 https://padlet.com/17029811/beabw4bc0upx/wish/459367205 2020-03-12 17:18:27 UTC https://padlet.com/17029811/beabw4bc0upx/wish/459367205
