SpaceX and Boeing were given certificate of approval to take spacecraft carrying astronauts to and from International Space Station (ISS) in year 2014. SpaceX will have its first mission to space in 2017 that would be its first crewed flight. In an initiative to make spacecrafts suitable for the mission, SpaceX has tested its Crew Dragon spacecraft successfully over Coolidge, Arizona. The Dragon capsule was carried by a C-130 aircraft; this capsule used four large parachutes for landing the astronauts.

The NASA is collaborating with SpaceX and Boeing to launch commercial flights to space soon. The success of the test was announced by NASA. Tech mogul and business magnate Elon Musk run SpaceX signed a NASA cargo contract in 2006. The new Crew Dragon spacecraft is also designed to carry passengers.

According to NASA’s website, “Ultimately, the goal is to establish safe, reliable and cost-effective access to space. Once a transportation capability is certified to meet NASA requirements, the agency will fly missions to meet its space station crew rotation and emergency return obligations”.

The test involved the spacecraft to land in the ocean to ensure safety, which was done using parachutes, as seen in the test video made public by NASA recently. Now, the SpaceX wants to test the landing of the capsule on the land using eight SuperDraco engines. If such tests came up clearing all conditions, the day is not far when this Crew Dragon capsule help astronauts travel in style with comfort. It would have climate control cabin and high quality seats. The emergency escape system in capsule is designed to keep people on board safe in their way back to the earth.
