Cape Canaveral Air Force Station | |
Crew Dragon 2 in-flight abort test | Falcon 9 rocket | Earth troposphere | |
Crew Dragon test capsule will be launched in an atmospheric flight to conduct a separation and abort scenario in the troposphere at transonic velocities, at max Q, where the vehicle experiences maximum aerodynamic pressure. The test objective is to demonstrate the ability to safely move away from the ascending rocket under the most challenging atmospheric conditions of the flight trajectory, imposing the worst structural stress of a real flight on the rocket and spacecraft. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dragon_2 |
