Elon Musk temporarily backed off from threatening to decommission the Dragon space capsule amid a feud with President Trump, which involved disputes over government contracts and space station logistics. The capsule is crucial for transporting astronauts and supplies to the ISS, with SpaceX currently the only U.S. company capable of crewed missions, highlighting its importance in U.S. space operations.
SpaceX's Dragon capsule is set to perform a historic reboost of the International Space Station (ISS) on November 8, 2024, marking the first time a non-Russian spacecraft will execute this maneuver. This operation is crucial for maintaining the ISS's orbit and signifies SpaceX's expanding role in space station management, as the company prepares for future responsibilities, including deorbiting the ISS by 2030. Despite recent technical challenges, SpaceX's commitment to innovation and safety remains strong, highlighting its growing influence in the evolving space industry.
A piece of space debris from a SpaceX Dragon capsule, likely from the Crew-7 mission, was discovered near Canton, North Carolina. The debris, found by a groundskeeper at a luxury camping site, consisted of shredded carbon fiber and scorched metal. Astrophysicist Jonathan McDowell confirmed it likely came from the Dragon's trunk, which reentered Earth's atmosphere over the area. Despite the rarity of such events, the Glamping Collective plans to display the debris on the trail where it was found.
The Griffin Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago has unveiled a renovated gallery featuring a twice-flown SpaceX Dragon capsule alongside historic Mercury and Apollo spacecraft. The $125 million renovation, funded by Kenneth C. Griffin, includes immersive displays and new artifacts, highlighting space exploration from the past 20 to 30 years.
SpaceX's CRS-30 Dragon cargo spacecraft successfully docked at the International Space Station (ISS) after launching from Florida. It delivered over 6,000 pounds of supplies, including food, research experiments, and maintenance hardware. The spacecraft will remain docked for about five weeks before returning to Earth, and it has the capability for atmospheric reentry and recovery.
The SpaceX Dragon Freedom capsule carrying the Ax-3 astronauts splashed down in the Atlantic Ocean near Daytona Beach, causing a sonic boom that was heard by locals. The astronauts, including individuals from the US, Turkey, Sweden, and Italy, had spent about 21 days in space before their return. The capsule's reentry involved peak temperatures of 3,500 degrees and top speeds of 17,500 mph, with the splashdown occurring at 8:30 a.m. Coast Guard patrol boats were deployed to prevent boaters from entering the splashdown zones.
SpaceX's Dragon crew capsule, carrying four Ax-3 astronauts, has undocked from the International Space Station and is set to splashdown off the Florida coastline on Friday after an 18-day mission. The crew conducted over 30 scientific experiments while aboard the ISS and will return with more than 550 pounds of cargo. This marks the first all-European private astronaut crew, and Axiom Space is on track to launch its first module to the ISS from Florida by late 2026.
