SpaceX to Make History with First Crewed Dragon Flight to the ISS
On February 2023, SpaceX launched its first crewed mission to the International Space Station (ISS). The historic mission marks the first time that a private company has put astronauts into space, a milestone in the new space race. The mission was made possible by the SpaceX Crew Dragon spacecraft, a reusable launch system that has been in development for the past decade. The spacecraft carried a crew of four astronauts, representing the United States, Japan, France, and the United Arab Emirates. After a successful launch, the Crew Dragon docked with the ISS, where the astronauts will be conducting experiments and performing other research for the next six months. This is a major milestone for SpaceX and could pave the way for even more ambitious missions in the future.
