The Dragon 1 spaceship, which is cargo and which belongs to Space x (property of Elon musk), finished his activity time and a few hours ago he made his last trip, to stay forever on planet Earth.
Dragon 1 is already submerged in the Pacific Ocean approximately 310 miles southwest of Long Beach, California.
The task of this spacecraft was to replenish cargo specified by the POT to take her to the International Space Station (ISS).
The ship fell into the waters of the Pacific Ocean in a parachute. It was anchored to the ISS. The first Dragon 1 capsule arrived at the station in October 2012. Since that date, unmanned spacecraft have traveled multiple times carrying technical equipment, food, animals, documents, to name a few things.
The Dragon 1 that released its robotic arm from the ISS is a CRS-20. It was his twentieth trip out of Tiera. With his retirement, an important era for Space X ends: the supply contract they had with NASA ends and it was signed in 2008.
Now that place will be taken by a CRS-2, the new Dragon 2, much more modern and with more advanced technology, in addition to allowing manned trips unlike its predecessor.
