The SpaceX Dragon is a state-of-the-art reusable spacecraft developed by the innovative American private space transportation company based in Hawthorne, California. During its historic uncrewed maiden flight in December 2010, the Dragon made history as the first commercially-built and operated spacecraft to be recovered successfully from orbit. On May 25, 2012, an uncrewed variant of the Dragon accomplished a groundbreaking feat by becoming the first commercial spacecraft to successfully rendezvous with the International Space Station (ISS). SpaceX has been contracted by NASA to deliver vital cargo to the ISS under the Commercial Resupply Services program, and the Dragon is set to begin regular cargo flights in September 2012. Furthermore, NASA awarded SpaceX a Commercial Crew Development contract in April 2011, paving the way for the Dragon to carry up to seven astronauts or a combination of personnel and cargo to and from low Earth orbit. The Dragon's heat shield has been designed to withstand intense Earth re-entry velocities that could potentially be encountered on lunar and Martian spaceflights. The SpaceX Dragon is available for purchase at an affordable price of $69.00, making it an attractive option for space enthusiasts and professionals alike. This cutting-edge spacecraft was last updated on August 6, 2015, and its unique product ID is 55c3592fccff75b0688b4730.
