Dragon 2 is a class of partially reusable spacecraft developed, manufactured, and operated by the American space company SpaceX for flights to the International Space Station (ISS) and private spaceflight missions. The spacecraft, which consists of a reusable space capsule and an expendable trunk module, has two variants: the 4-person Crew Dragon and Cargo Dragon, a replacement for the Dragon 1 cargo capsule. The spacecraft launches atop a Falcon 9 Block 5 rocket, and the capsule returns to Earth through splashdown.

With Dragon on final approach to... Jupiter!. JK. It is my favorite image from this launch. Dragon had just fired its RCS thrusters, and the residual gas is backlit against the usual blackness of space.With Dragon on final approach to... Jupiter!. JK.
