SpaceX has a busy schedule of Dragon missions carrying cargo and crew to the ISS through next year, with some use of reused spacecraft.
WASHINGTON — SpaceX is preparing for a busy schedule of Dragon missions carrying cargo and crew to the International Space Station through next year, a manifest that will make at least some use of reused spacecraft.
At a Sept. 29 NASA briefing, Benji Reed, senior director of human spaceflight programs at SpaceX, said that schedule of missions means there will be at least one Dragon spacecraft, and sometimes two, docked to the station continuously through the end of 2021 after the launch of the Crew-1 Crew Dragon mission, currently scheduled for Oct. 31.
“This really is a new era for us as a company at SpaceX, and also for commercial space in general,” he said.
