On November 24, 2015, SpaceX’s Dragon 2, powered by eight SuperDraco engines, carried out a propulsive hover test at the company’s rocket development facility located in McGregor, Texas. The firm recently released a 46-second video of the test and it marks one of the milestones the spacecraft has completed on the way to a planned in-flight abort test slated to occur later this year.
