Falcon 9 booster B1067 will take more than 3300 kg of cargo. They will bring new roll out solar panels to the space station. Eventually six new solar panels will add 20-30% more power to the station.

Embedded within the outer hull of the capsule are eight thrusters, called SuperDraco engines. If some kind of issue arises during flight, it will trigger the thrusters to fire.

SpaceX performed a static fire test on the SuperDraco engines that form its Crew Dragon spacecraft's emergency abort system last week. And thanks to new footage released by NASA, you can watch the ...

Following these initial Draco thruster burns, the team completed a full-duration firing for approximately nine seconds of Crew Dragon’s eight SuperDraco engines.

The SuperDraco abort engines were installed in the Crew Dragon recently. During an emergency, the SuperDraco engines will jerk away during an unmanned in-flight abort (IFA) test.

The upcoming static fire test of the SuperDraco engines will happen on November 2, according to CNBC. This follows a major issue that occurred in April this year when a Crew Dragon capsule ...

This would use the SuperDraco thrusters to demonstrate that the capsule could escape from a booster during a flight in an emergency, a key aspect of the capsule’s safety measures.

SpaceX has completed over 700 tests of its Crew Dragon SuperDraco engines as it pushes to use the spacecraft to bring astronauts to the International Space Station. The Crew Dragon has an ...

SpaceX revealed yesterday, July 15, the cause of the explosion that destroyed one of its Crew Dragon spacecraft – and delayed its first launch of humans to at least the end of 2019.

SuperDraco thrusters use a mix of NTO as an oxidizer and hydrazine as the fuel. When combined, the resulting mix is a hypergolic – or combusting during contact – propellant that provides ...

The firm “had planned to test the vehicle’s abort system (which involves the SuperDraco thrusters) in June”, but ”that now appears very unlikely”, the tech news site adds.

The April 20 test was meant to see the Crew Dragon capsule fire its SuperDraco engines. Instead, observers reported seeing plumes of smoke above Cape Canaveral Air Force Station.
