SpaceX is set to fire the first “big test” of its Crew Dragon, its capsule designed to deliver astronauts to the space station. The pad abort test, which will push (rather than pull) the capsule from a ground-based mount representing the company’s Falcon 9 rocket, is the latest in a 55-year history of launch escape system trials that began with NASA’s Mercury program.
