Re: Space X (Dragon) Docking with the ISS

SpaceX Dragon demo capsule returns to Earth

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-47477617

America's new commercial astronaut capsule completed its demonstration flight on Friday with a splashdown in the Atlantic Ocean.

It had a heat-shield to protect it from the high temperatures of re-entry.

Four parachutes brought it into soft contact with water about 450km from Cape Canaveral, Florida.

Splashdown occurred at about 08:45 EST (13:45 GMT).
..... and is Ripley intact .....

Fantastic launch and re-entry.

Here's the launch and hard capture on the ISS not shown on the news channels.

SpaceX's Crew Dragon Looks Just Like a Toasted Marshmallow After Fiery Re-Entry

https://www.space.com/spacex-crew-dr...rshmallow.html



SpaceX's Crew Dragon, like all returning spacecraft, has a protective heat shield on its base to bear the brunt of that heat, but the white thermal protection layers along its side look like they got a bit cooked. And that's only to be expected.
I wonder what Ripley looked like after being roasted .....
