Reused Dragons to start flying this year
SpaceX to restore damaged Cape Canaveral launch pad to service in December November 1, 2017 Stephen Clark https://spaceflightnow.com/2017/11/0...-damaged-cape- canaveral-launch-pad-to-service-in-december/ From above: NASA said the Dragon spaceship assigned to the December launch is the same capsule that flew to the station in April 2015 and returned to Earth a month later. SpaceX launched a reused Dragon cargo craft to the space station for the first time in June, and the last newly-manufactured first-generation Dragon was launched in August. All future SpaceX resupply flights will use refurbished Dragon capsules until upgraded ships are ready to take over. So, the last of first generation Dragons was manufactured this year and the first reused Dragon is expected to fly this December.
