SpaceX Dragon C106 is a Dragon space capsule built by SpaceX.[1] It is the first reused SpaceX Dragon capsule to be reflown into space, having its second launch in 2017.[2] C106 was first used on CRS-4, and then used again for the CRS-11 and CRS-19 missions.[3] It was the second capsule after C108 to be used a third time, marking a milestone in SpaceX's drive to reduce space launch costs through reusing hardware.[4]
