CHICAGO (WBBM NEWSRADIO) — The Museum of Science and Industry (MSI) is adding to its fleet of spaceships.
The SpaceX Dragon 1 Cargo Spacecraft flew two supply missions to the International Space Station. It delivered tons of cargo to the space station in August of 2017 and again in May of 2019.
Next spring it will make a final voyage to the MSI’s Henry Crown Space Center.
The museum will welcome Dragon Cargo 1 to the collection with a welcome ceremony on the building's front steps on Thursday, which will be a free admission day.
MSI is already home to the Aurora 7, which was the second American spacecraft to orbit the earth, as well as Apollo 8, which was the first to fly humans to the moon in December of 1968.
