SpaceX Dragon Capsule Sets New U.S. Spaceflight Records
SpaceX broke U.S. spaceflight records with the successful launch and docking of its 20th flight-proven Dragon capsule to the International Space Station (ISS) for the CRS-28 mission, marking the 38th time a Dragon spacecraft visited the ISS, beating the record held by the Space Shuttle. The Dragon 2 fleet’s cumulative time in space also surpassed the Space Shuttle fleet’s time with 1,324 total days in orbit. SpaceX is currently the only U.S.-based company making regular visits to the ISS, with resupply missions and crewed missions for NASA.
