Opening heading

The article could give example items of the full Dragon that the Qualification Unit does not contain, that way the press cannot claim to have been cheated. For example seats, automated rendezvous system and possibly docking engine. Andrew Swallow (talk) 09:44, 30 May 2010 (UTC)Reply

In Favor - Dragon Spacecraft Qualification Unit is not notable in itself. --71.214.221.153 (talk) 12:00, 3 June 2010 (UTC)Reply

  • What? I think you'll find it's the other way round. Anyway, both are notable, its just a case of standardisation and avoiding duplication. DSQU should be maintained, and I would strongly oppose any proposal to reverse the direction of the proposed merger, based on precedent and de facto notability concerns. --GW 12:08, 3 June 2010 (UTC)Reply

Does not separate from the rocket

edit

It should be said somewhere that it is not foreseen to separate it from Falcon 9 and that this is the normal course of events, not a failure. Hektor (talk) 06:48, 4 June 2010 (UTC)Reply

Reentry?

edit

Is there any plan to deorbit the DSQU? does it have a heat shield installed?132.10.250.80 (talk) 20:25, 8 June 2010 (UTC)Reply

Orbit

edit

The orbit was not reached. The air force measured an orbit from 235 x 273 km far away from the orbit spaceX wanted to reach. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.239.55.11 (talk) 09:48, 12 June 2010 (UTC)Reply

If this is verifiable, and you have a source, it may be added to the article. Until then, this is merely unfounded internet speculation by an anonymous IP editor and merits no further consideration. N2e (talk) 20:12, 9 December 2010 (UTC)Reply

Merge to SpaceX Dragon

edit

As this is an engineering mockup for the full Dragon capsule, and that article contains some information about the DSQU already, it should merge there under the "Development" section. 64.229.101.17 (talk) 09:49, 9 December 2010 (UTC)Reply

  • Strongest possible oppose all spacecraft are currently considered notable enough for inclusion, this one is no exception. If you want to change this, a more centralised discussion would be needed, for example at WP:SPACEFLIGHT. This article can be expanded with more information which would not fit in there. --GW 10:46, 9 December 2010 (UTC)Reply
  • Oppose The Dragon qualification boilerplate was notable as a space payload on its own. It may be the case that with the plethora of new nanosatellites being deposited into LEO this should change, and that some similar thinking about this relatively inert and low/limited activity payload witha short life might be appropriate, but I agree with GW that this is not the place to change what has become a Wikipedia de facto standard. Best to do that at WP:SPACEFLIGHT. N2e (talk) 20:10, 9 December 2010 (UTC)Reply

It has been over ten days and there is no consensus to go forward with a merge. I will remove the merge tag from the article. N2e (talk) 21:06, 22 December 2010 (UTC)Reply

What mass

edit

As launched what was its mass, ie. did it represent an empty/dry dragon or one with max internal payload ? (then can fill in payload mass in List_of_Falcon_9_and_Falcon_Heavy_launches) - Rod57 (talk) 09:02, 25 May 2018 (UTC)Reply
