SpaceX's Dragon XL cargo vehicle. This spacecraft builds on numerous high-heritage systems from Dragon 1, Dragon 2, Falcon 9's second stage, and Starlink to produce a high-capacity low-development-cost vehicle for cislunar logistics. Dragon XL's pressurized cargo module is based on the Falcon 9 LOX tank, its solar arrays are based on those of Dragon 1, and its propulsion and environmental control systems as well as its autonomous docking system are based on Dragon 2
In 2020, SpaceX won a contract for at least two Dragon XL missions under NASA's Gateway Logistics Services program, supporting Artemis. Each mission will deliver over five tons of useful payload to lunar orbit, in a mix of pressurized and unpressurized cargo
All materials, textures, and linked libraries are packed in the .blend file. Unapplied modifiers and instancing have been used to reduce file size and enable easy editing. Solar arrays are articulated
Changelog:
