Mission Details

SpaceX Demo-1

SpaceX Demo-1 was the first orbital test of Crew Dragon. It was an uncrewed demonstration mission as part of NASA's Commercial Crew program. The spacecraft tested the approach and automated docking procedures with the International Space Station (ISS), remained docked for a few days, then conducted the full re-entry, splashdown and recovery steps to provide data required to subsequently qualify for flights transporting humans to the ISS. Life support systems were closely monitored during the test flight.

SpaceX Demo-1 docked to the IDA-2 port of the Harmony module of the International Space Station on 03/03/2019 at 10:51 UTC. Its stay was 4 days and was undocked on 08/03/2019 at 07:32 UTC. It splashed down in the Atlantic Ocean on 08/03/2019 at 13:45 UTC.
