Crew Dragon Resilience (Dragon C207) is a Crew Dragon spacecraft manufactured by SpaceX and built under NASA's Commercial Crew Program. In November 2020, it was launched into orbit to the International Space Station as part of the Crew-1 mission. With crew prompting, Resilience docked autonomously to the station at 04:01 UTC on 17 November 2020, or Day 2 of the mission, marking the first operational docking of a Crew Dragon and the first operational docking of the Commercial Crew Program. The mission carried four additional members of Expedition 64 to the three already on station.[1][2]

Resilience returned to Earth at the end of the Crew-1 mission on 2 May 2021, and soon after began refurbishment ahead of its next assignment, the Inspiration4 mission which launched on 16 September 2021.[3][4][5]
