SpaceX Crew Dragon Spacecraft Takes Flight During Pad Abort Test at Cape Canaveral
NASA,SpaceX,Pad Abort Test,KSC
SpaceX tested its Crew Dragon, a spacecraft under final development and certification through NASA’s Commercial Crew Program (CCP) which simulated an emergency abort from a test stand on Space Launch Complex 40 at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station (CCAFS) in Florida.
The ability to abort from a launch or pad emergency, and safely carry crew members out of harm’s way, is a critical element for NASA’s next generation of crewed spacecraft. SpaceX will perform the test under its Commercial Crew Integrated Capability (CCiCap) agreement with NASA, but can use the data gathered during the development flight as it continues on the path to certification. Under a separate Commercial Crew Transportation Capability (CCtCap) contract, NASA’s CCP will certify SpaceX’s Crew Dragon, Falcon 9 rocket and ground and mission operations systems to fly crews to and from the International Space Station.

If I were a member of the crew, I would be thankful to be alive … but I would refuse to be the one who cleans out the vomit in the capsule.
This is so cool that it doesn’t even look real. First time I saw this I thought it was an animation of what the escape system was supposed to look like
First time seeing a video like this, it’s very interesting, and the test was successful. Congratulations SpaceX
I’m lucky if I can eat once a day .….this us a great country. …
so cool
Very fast and looks safer than other abort systems I have seen!
pretty amazing acceleration during the escape process. that splash looked pretty hard though.I was surprised to see the weather looked a bit rough there too.
Is the crew going to have a heads down position during splashdown?
How many G’s will the astronauts experience when the rocket is already taking off and then they abort. Thats craaaazy.
terminal velocity?
Good to know that the abort system on the dragon works
KSP in real life 😀
Well done! Just one thing, how do you clean up the chutes to re-use them after they have been in the Atlantic? Is there a truck-sized laundromat somewhere?
Man, KSP has gotten way more realistic since the last time I played…
supersonic decelerator
that could have saved challenger crews
Does anyone know the height of those towers 0:18 to calculate the acceleration and how many gs the shuttle is pulling? looks like it’s a lot.
Some rather violent rocking as the chutes opened; those multimillion-dollar-paying lunar “astronauts” are going to be in for a rough ride.
I’d have the entire interior painted with vomit.
seems like a lot of g‑forces
Look at that amazing air quality.
that looks like it would be one rough ride… the shoots come out too centrally and the thing wobbles way too much..
are they going to reuse the chute after that?
Them G’s Though
beautiful😁
Mankind will never get off this rock. That is not because mankind could never do it. Nothing will be impossible for mankind when they are fully integrated communicably. But, mankind will never get off this rock.
God intervened at the Tower of Babel so long ago saying, “Behold, they are one people, and they have all one language, and this is only the beginning of what they will do. And nothing that they propose to do will now be impossible for them.” You must understand that God intervened for this very purpose: to keep mankind from leaving earth. There is no other ultimate frontier than outer space. But he already stopped you at the Tower of Babel. So what does this mean for you, O humanity, that you come to this very end which God stalled so long ago? It means your time has run out.
I sound the horn for the beginning of the tribulation and for the destruction of the United States of America. These times are at hand. Get ready.
career mode first mission
That thing was shaking around at the start, that can’t be good!
Nice
They should make a giant version of this
wow
Bye bye soyuz
wow…just imagine being an astronaut crash landing on a new planet’s ocean…the first explorer
.….
2019 and still re-creating Apollo era stuff as if it is something “leading edge”
