SpaceX’s Crew Dragon Scheduled For First Test Flight In January
NASA has officially set the date for the first test flight of SpaceX’s new generation Crew Dragon capsule. Dubbed DM-1, the first demonstration mission of the Crew Dragon astronaut pod is scheduled to take place in less than two months and will lift off on January 7, NASA announced yesterday.
As the Inquisitr previously reported, the first test flight of the Crew Dragon will be an unmanned trip to the International Space Station (ISS). The space capsule will remain docked with the orbital outpost for a few weeks, after which the Crew Dragon will make the flight back to Earth.
