SpaceX CEO Elon Musk is set to unveil “the next generation spacecraft designed to carry astronauts to space.” Dragon V2 is the manned version of Dragon, a cargo capsule (which became the first commercial spacecraft to rendezvous & berth with the International Space Station in 2012.)

Musk reports this is actual flight design hardware, not a mock-up, and if selected for the second round of funding from NASA, the U.S. could have manned access to the International Space Station as soon as 2017.

Watch the unveiling live at 10:00pm EST below:
