ROUGH CUT (NO REPORTER NARRATION) The SpaceX Crew Dragon capsule was loaded on a boat Friday after it splashed down in the Atlantic Ocean near Florida's eastern coast in the morning wrapping up its historic first test flight.

The unmanned capsule's voyage marks a key milestone for Elon Musk's space company and NASA's long-delayed goal to resume human spaceflight from U.S. soil later this year.

The 16-foot tall (4.9 meter) capsule docked at the space station on Sunday (March 3) after lifting off a day earlier from Florida's Kennedy Space Center atop a Falcon 9 rocket, carrying a test dummy nicknamed Ripley.

Crew Dragon delivered crew supplies and equipment to the ISS.

During its five-day stay, U.S. astronaut Anne McClain and Canadian astronaut David Saint-Jacques ran tests and inspected Crew Dragon's cabin.
