The launch took place atop a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket as part of NASA's commercial crew program (Commercial Crew Development). The Crew Dragon 2 spacecraft successfully docked to the ISS on 3 March 2019. It was not crewed, instead carrying a test dummy known as the Anthropomorphic Test Device (ATD), wearing SpaceX's custom flight suit.
