SpaceX conducted an In-Flight Abort Test to demonstrate Crew Dragon’s ability to safely escape the Falcon 9 rocket in the event of a failure during launch. A Falcon 9 rocket launched the Crew Dragon on 19 January 2020, at 15:30 UTC (10:30 EST) from Launch Complex 39A at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida. Approximately 90 seconds after liftoff, Falcon 9’s first stage Merlin engines shut down and Crew Dragon’s SuperDraco thrusters burned to completion.
