The Falcon 9 v1.2 Block 5 Crew Dragon (Falcon 9 Block 5 Crew, F9 B5 Crew) is a two-stage American crew-rated launch vehicle in the Falcon 9 family, the human-rated configuration of the Falcon 9 Block 5 developed under the Commercial Crew Program for delivering astronauts to the International Space Station. Standing 70 m tall with a 3.7 m core diameter and a liftoff mass of 549 tonnes, it generates 7,607 kN of liftoff thrust and can deliver 22,800 kg to low Earth orbit or 8,300 kg to geostationary transfer orbit.
