SpaceX is ending Crew Dragon production
SpaceX will stop producing new Crew Dragon craft after it finishes manufacturing its fourth and final capsule, according to. After confirming the news, Elon Musk’s private space firm told the outlet it would continue to produce components for the spacecraft and that it would retain its capacity to manufacture additional Crew Dragon capsules should something come up.
Given the reusable nature of the Crew Dragon, it was always assumed SpaceX would produce a limited number of the spacecraft, but before today it wasn’t known just how many capsules the company planned to make before moving on to other projects.
