Demo C1, Q2 2009 – Core Functionality Only Very basic, up & back functionality

Tests fundamentals and puts an early success on the books

Demo C2, Q4 2009 – ISS Fly-By Approaches to within 10 km of ISS

Establishes command & telemetry cross-link

Demonstrates commanding by ISS crew

Demo C3, Q1 2010 – ISS Berthing ISS Proximity Operations, capture and berthing demo

Return cargo safely to Earth

Establishes system as operational

If funding for Crew Capability option is turned on in 2010:

Demo D1, 2011 – Unmanned high altitude abort

Demo D2, 2011 – Crew transport to ISS (three crew) Cargo mission will have proven ISS rendezvous and berthing

operations

A “light” flight crew (3) and minimal cargo to provide max delta-V and life support margins

Demo D3, 2012 – Crew transport to ISS (seven crew) Verifies ability to transport full complement of crew

Ground swell of interest in Dragon amongst the following communities:

Biotech/biomedical research Flying on C2 Demo mission

Instrument & sensor developers Materials & space environments researchers Life sciences Microgravity research Radiation effects research Shuttle/ISS experimenters (without other

flight opportunities) Earth sciences (short-duration LEO missions) Sounding rocket community Space physics & relativity
