@SpaceX Cargo Dragon has 18 small Draco thrusters. From this image, it looks like D2 only has eight. Are there more in the rear of the ship?

@John_Gardi Dragon V2 has 8 "SuperDraco" thrusters -
@Nivo0o0 I know it has 8 SuperDracos, but what about the smaller Dracos. How do they do yaw, pitch, roll & collective (sideways movement)? -
@John_Gardi@Nivo0o0 6 DOF, 8 thrusters should be enough to manage with up to two engine failures, no ? -
-
@John_Gardi@Nivo0o0 wow yeah 90lbs of thrust sounds insane when you're pushing >9klbs of spacecraft - especially if you need to clear

@SpaceX good timing guys. Does this rely on Draco's? -
-
@John_Gardi@SpaceX Thanks for the clarification. Wasn't sure if they utilised a different approach for pad abort. Hope there is vid!
