Dragon (spacecraft)

Dragon is a partially reusable spacecraft developed by the company SpaceX.

Dragon is launched into space by the SpaceX Falcon 9 two-stage-to-orbit launch vehicle. During its uncrewed maiden flight in December 2010, Dragon became the first commercially built and operated spacecraft to be recovered successfully from orbit. On 25 May 2012, an uncrewed variant of Dragon became the first commercial spacecraft to successfully rendezvous and be attached to the International Space Station (ISS).
