User:The true iMAniaC/Dragon Spotting

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Purpose

[edit]

The purpose of this page is to note down information about reflown Dragon capsules in such a way that the use of individual capsules can be followed. This is a similar pet project as User:The true iMAniaC/Falcon 9 Spotting.

It seems that there are already lists like this elsewhere, but it looks like they're not sourced to Wikipedia's standards, though, and contains a great deal of original research. Nice resources in themselves, though:

Nomenclature

[edit]

I'm just starting out, but it seems the capsules are numbered by: C1XX For the time being, I'll assume it's kind of like the boosters.

List of Dragon capsules and flights

[edit]

Note: The table is sortable by all columns even though the default view has cells spanning several rows.

Temporary sources

[edit]

Sources that should, ideally, be replaced over time, such as third-party sources stating a launch site ahead of time (should be be replaced with a third-party source stating the launch actually happened from the launch site in question, etc.).

SpaceX Press Kits

[edit]

Used to source simple facts that SpaceX would have no reason to skew and which should be considered highly reliable and accurate, such as launch site, destination etc. Alongside the "normal" sources, this helps verify that simple information is not misreported and also indicates what may be original or unreliable research on part of the journalists. Note, especially, that the capsule numbers are never in the press kits (and so should not be used as source for the connection between the mission and capsule).
