Summary

Description
English: A full-size test article of the SpaceX Crew Dragon named DragonFly fires its eight SuperDraco engines in a development test of its ability to land with the accuracy of a helicopter using only the thrusters. The company conducted two tethered tests vehicle attached to a crane so engineers could refine the landing software and systems on the spacecraft. SpaceX envisioned returning people to Earth from space on the power of thrust instead of beneath parachutes. SpaceX, in partnership with NASA’s Commercial Crew Program, is developing the Crew Dragon and Falcon 9 integrated system to launch astronauts to the International Space Station from the United States.
Afrikaans: 'n Volgrootte toetsartikel van die SpaceX Crew Dragon, bekend as DragonFly, vuur sy agt SuperDraco-enjins af in 'n ontwikkelingstoets van sy vermoë om met die noukeurigheid van 'n helikopter te land deur slegs die stuwers te gebruik. Die maatskappy het twee vasgegorde voertuigtoetse uitgevoer sodat ingenieurs die landingsagteware en -stelsels op die ruimtetuig kon verfyn. SpaceX het beoog om mense met stukrag eerder as valskerms vanuit die ruimte na die Aarde terug te bring. SpaceX, in vennootskap met NASA se Kommersiële Bemanningsprogram, ontwikkel die Crew Dragon en Falcon 9 geïntegreerde stelsel om ruimtevaarders van Amerikaanse grondgebied na die Internasionale Ruimtestasie te lanseer.
