Crew Dragon Freedom (serial number C212) is the fourth operational Crew Dragon reusable spacecraft manufactured and operated by SpaceX. It first launched on 27 April 2022 to the International Space Station (ISS) on the SpaceX Crew-4 mission. It has subsequently been used for Axiom Mission 2 in May 2023 and Axiom Mission 3 in January 2024, two private spaceflight missions to the ISS operated by Axiom Space. It is scheduled to operate the SpaceX Crew-9 mission in September 2024. The capsule was named after the fundamental human right of freedom and the Freedom 7 capsule that took astronaut Alan Shepard on the first human spaceflight from the United States.
