Dragon was a reusable cargo spacecraft designed and launched by the American aerospace company SpaceX. The space company began developing the Dragon space capsule in late 2004 and won a contract in 2006 to use the Dragon spacecraft for commercial resupply services. The spacecraft was launched into orbit by SpaceX's Falcon 9 launch vehicle in October 2012 to resupply the International Space Station (ISS) under NASA's Commercial Resupply Services (CRS-1) program for the first time. On 3 June 2017, a Dragon spacecraft, largely assembled from previously flown components from the CRS-4 mission in September 2014, was launched again for the first time on CRS-11. The last flight of the first version of the Dragon spacecraft took place on March 7th, 2020 after which other resupply flights to the ISS were conducted with the Dragon 2 spacecraft.
