About Crew Dragon
NASA’s Space crew mission is the first mission in the history of space science to conduct safe, reliable, and cost-effective transportation of humans from the ground to low-Earth orbit and the International Space Stations, and back.
The Crew Dragon spacecraft can stay up to 210 days in the Earth’s orbit. Hence this human space mission has opened doors to long-duration expeditions and research in space.
SpaceX Crew 1 was the first time astronauts used a spaceship developed and launched by a private company. Also, it carried back astronauts to the earth.
