Porozmawiajmy o... misji Muninn 🐦‍⬛🚀
Let's talk about... #Muninn #AX3 🛰

Which rocket will carry the Dragon to the space station? 🚀

Let's start from the beginning. The only possibility for us, for European astronauts, is to fly into space with the SpaceX rocket and capsule from Cape Canaveral.

A capsule is the part that is placed at the very top of the rocket, and there the crew is located. This is the SpaceX capsule that flies to the 🛰 International Space Station. It's called Dragon.

There are two versions of this capsule: the crewed one or the second, which delivers cargo. The design of both capsules is so similar that SpaceX sometimes claims that crewed and cargo missions are practically the same from their perspective.

We have the capsule here, and underneath it there is the rocket that carries the capsule to low Earth orbit, where only the crewed capsule is docking to the station.

Now: the rocket is called Falcon 9 and consists of two parts. The first part, the lower one, allows it to pass through the lower layers of the atmosphere, and this part is later detached and lands back on Earth. The second part of the rocket, the upper one, is responsible for the higher part of the flight, it is then burned up in the atmosphere and thus not reused 🔥
