The Falcon rocket is the same vehicle the company uses to loft cargo to the International Space Station and to put satellites in orbit. It's gone through many iterations down the years and now has an extensive flight history.
The crew capsule is based on the ISS cargo freighter but incorporates life-support systems and more powerful thrusters to push the vessel to safety if something goes wrong with the rocket. It also has four parachutes instead of the freighter's three to control the descent to Earth.
Dragon crew capsules will splashdown in the Atlantic not far from Kennedy.
