Dragon has now launched toward the space station more times than NASA's space shuttles did.
Dragon 2 is the latest iteration of the reusable capsule, which SpaceX began flying in 2020. There are crewed and uncrewed Dragon 2 variants. Crew Dragon has now flown 10 astronaut missions, most of them six-month trips to the ISS for NASA.
The current resupply mission, known as CRS-28, is the eighth for the cargo version of Dragon 2. Such robotic cargo runs tend to last three to four weeks apiece. In addition, the earlier Dragon 1 cargo capsule launched 22 times between December 2010 and March 2020, making it to the ISS on 20 occasions.
