CREW DRAGON’S UPGRADED LAUNCH ESCAPE SYSTEM
SpaceX continues to make progress towards launching crews into orbit, but several critical tests remain before those plans can come to fruition. The company is developing the Crew Dragon spacecraft to transport crews to and from the International Space Station as part of NASA’s Commercial Crew Program.
SpaceX has posted a video showing the static fire test of a pod of Crew Dragon SuperDraco abort thrusters, indicating that the complex system has been successfully redesigned and upgraded to fix the faults that caused a Dragon capsule to explode in April 2019.
The capsule, known as SpaceX Crew Dragon, is SpaceX’s spacecraft to carry as many as seven people to the International Space Station and more.
In this video Engineering Today will discuss SpaceX's next Crew Dragon test which could happen next week. SpaceX preps upgraded Crew Dragon for the static-fire test. Why this test is a critical milestone for SpaceX after April explosion?
Let’s get into details.
