Dragon
Trunk
Dragon's trunk not only carries unpressurized cargo but also supports the spacecraft during ascent. One half of the trunk is covered in solar panels that provide power to Dragon during flight and while on-station. The trunk remains attached to Dragon until shortly before reentry into Earth's atmosphere.

Taking humans to space
In 2020, SpaceX returned America's ability to fly NASA astronauts to and from the International Space Station
on American vehicles for the first time since 2011. In addition to flying astronauts to space for NASA,
SpaceX's Dragon spacecraft can also carry commercial astronauts to Earth orbit, the ISS or beyond.

Engines
Draco
The Dragon spacecraft is equipped with 16 Draco thrusters used to orient the spacecraft during the mission, including apogee/perigee maneuvers, orbit adjustment and attitude control. Each Draco thruster is capable of generating 90 pounds of force in the vacuum of space.
Number of engines
16
Thrust in vacuum
400 N
/ 90 lbf
Dragon parachute system
The Dragon spacecraft is equipped with two drogue parachutes to stabilize the spacecraft following reentry and four main parachutes to further decelerate the spacecraft prior to landing.
