Spacecraft

Dragon C112 (C112)

The C112 capsule was flown on CRS-10, CRS-16 and CRS-20. On CRS-10 the capsule lifted off from the Kennedy Space Center from pad 39A. This was the first flight from this pad since STS-135 left the pad in mid-2011. The vehicle experienced some software issues meaning its berthing was delayed for a day. Now on display in Waco, Texas at the Bledsoe-Miller STEAM Center.

  • Destination: International Space Station
  • Mission length: 28 days
  • Docked February 23, 2017 at Harmony nadir

The Dragon spacecraft successfully splashed down in the Pacific Ocean carrying scientific research and station hardware.
