Crew Dragon landed in the Atlantic ocean

After about a week in All the "Crew Dragon" back to the earth. In the Morning, the space capsule from the ISS had been de-coupled. A few hours later, they landed in the sea off the coast of Florida.

The test flight of the privately funded astronaut ferry "Crew Dragon" is coming to an end: After about a week in orbit, the space capsule using parachutes landed off the coast of Florida in the Atlantic ocean.

in The Morning it had disconnected the ferry schedule from the International space station ISS, the US space Agency told NASA. Then she went back to earth. The test flight was unmanned; on Board the space capsule, only a doll full of Sensors.

After several days, has disconnected the "Crew Dragon" to the ISS.

NASA called the project a milestone in the history of space travel. The space capsule company SpaceX Tesla founder Elon Musk had docked last weekend after around 27 hours of flight time to the ISS, where it was studied by the astronauts on the space station. The canadian David Saint-Jacques climbed, as the first in the capsule and found that it was very smooth and comfortable as the Business Class.

It was the first Time that a privately built and operated Crew van from American soil, flew to the ISS. The United States in the future want to focus more on private companies for manned missions into space. The goal is to send back even manned flights to the space station and to no longer be dependent on Russia.

NASA needs to let its astronauts for the past eight years with the Russian space shuttles to the ISS to fly, because you can set the program Space Shuttle, but still not a replacement for it. SpaceX hopes to be able to its "Dragon"capsule in the summer, the first manned launch.
