CRS SpX-2

Wiki

SpaceX CRS-2, also known as SpX-2 was the second SpaceX operational mission contracted to NASA under a Commercial Resupply Services contract. The SpaceX Dragon spacecraft reported an anomaly with its thrusters shortly after separating from the Falcon 9 rocket. The problem was resolved by ground controllers and the mission was executed successfully. Dragon was berthed to the station for just under 23 days before it successfully returned to Earth. It was also the first time Dragon’s trunk was used to carry unpressurized cargo to the ISS. This mission was flown by Dragon C104-1.
