SpaceX successfully sent NASA astronauts Robert Behnken and Douglas Hurley to the ISS in May. This was on, now known as, Dragon Endeavour. It is a test flight recognized as Demo-2 (Demonstration Mission Two). The astronauts are going to proceed to operate science, upkeep and spacewalks onboard the space station. At a later date they will take a splash down ride back on Earth.
