SpaceX, NASA tight-lipped on cause of crew capsule incident 0 SHARES Share it! Share TweetBy Agence France-PresseNASA and SpaceX remained tight-lipped Thursday about what caused a mysterious but apparently serious incident last weekend during engine tests on the Crew Dragon capsule designed to carry US astronauts to the International Space Station (ISS) later this year. SpaceX has not issued any more details since its statement on Saturday, and NASA has referred any questions back to Elon Musk’s company. The Dragon capsule was successfully launched, without any crew on board, by SpaceX in March. Boeing is also developing a capsule for NASA for return trips to the ISS, but its first unmanned trip is not scheduled until August.
