Successfully launches first and second rocket Falcon 9 and restoration of the spacecraft of the dragon, space exploration technologies (SpaceX) stated its intention to accelerate the pace of the commercial orbital transportation services (COTS) program of private with the NASA space company. Society has been inspecting elements of the spacecraft space dragon which launched in orbit on 8 December, possible changes to the next Dragon - in flight.

The company became the first private in the history of the launch vehicle successfully return safely and orbit then onshore organisation. Society, for some time, works at the stage the pace program available on the market. This program, three first flight of the dragon would be flight demonstration with the flight of the third and final demonstration docking with the international space station (ISS).

As they want to combine the requirements of second and third flights - mission in a single SpaceX is, if anything, a young and restless, society on the move. In short, SpaceX hopes to send their next dragon - to the space station itself, cutting a flight demonstration in the process. However, while officials at SpaceX company CEO and CTO Elon Musk attempt to relive the golden age of manned space flight (effort is quite similar to the launch of the Apollo 8 mission accelerated) - NASA seems uncertain to speed up the process. NASA said if everything goes well with the first flight of the dragon would speed up the program.

The next flight of the Dragon spacecraft can take place as early as the middle of next year. Musk, there is little difference between manoeuvres Dragon led into orbit Wednesday passed - and those which would be necessary if the boat to rendezvous with the international space station. On a mission to the orbiting outpost, the dragon must be equipped with solar panels and some equipment aboard the vessel must be upgraded.

To date, NASA only stated assesses the ability to accelerate the program and recognizes that SpaceX has enjoyed success. Those in the community space notes that NASA has a philosophy of showers at the risk and the Agency will probably want to see the company to meet the requirements of the initial contract and fully demonstrate the capabilities of the dragon.
