SpaceX’s Crew Dragon approaches the International Space Station during the Demo-1 mission on Sunday, March 3, 2019. The uncrewed spacecraft docked to the orbiting laboratory following a 2:49 a.m. EST liftoff aboard a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket from Launch Complex 39A at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida on March 2. Crew Dragon made 18 orbits of Earth before successfully attaching to the space station. The spacecraft undocked at 2:32 a.m., March 8, splashing down in the Atlantic Ocean, about 200 miles off Florida’s east coast, at 8:45 a.m. It arrived in Port Canaveral in Florida on the main deck of SpaceX’s recovery ship, Go Searcher, on March 9. SpaceX’s inaugural flight with NASA’s Commercial Crew Program is the first flight test of a space system designed for humans built and operated by a commercial company through a public-private partnership. NASA and SpaceX will use data from Demo-1 to further prepare for Demo-2, the crewed flight test that will carry NASA astronauts Bob Behnken and Doug Hurley to the International Space Station later this year.

SpaceX rehearses helicopter landing and patient loading on its recovery ship, GO Searcher, practicing how the aircraft will pick up astronauts and fly them to a nearby hospital in the unlikely event of a medical emergency. The company outfitted the ship with a medical treatment facility and a helipad in the center of the vessel. When astronauts splash down into the ocean after their journey to the International Space Station on SpaceX’s Crew Dragon spacecraft, NASA and SpaceX doctors will work together to evaluate the crew onboard the vessel. Should astronauts need to be airlifted to a hospital, the helicopter also will pick up paramedics and doctors from the ship who will care for the astronauts in-flight.

The SpaceX Crew Dragon spacecraft is offloaded from the company’s recovery ship, Go Searcher, at the Port Canaveral Army wharf in Florida carrying the company’s Crew Dragon spacecraft following the uncrewed In-Flight Abort Test, Jan. 19, 2020. The spacecraft lifted off atop a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket at 10:30 a.m. EST from Launch Complex 39A at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center. The flight test, which concluded with the Crew Dragon’s planned splashdown in the Atlantic Ocean, demonstrated the spacecraft’s escape capabilities in preparation for crewed flights to the International Space Station as part of the agency’s Commercial Crew Program.
