SpaceX's Demonstration Mission 1 (also known as Demo-1 or DM-1) was an unpiloted six-day test flight of the company's Crew Dragon, a spacecraft designed to fly astronauts to and from the International Space Station. SpaceX is one of two private companies (Boeing is the other) with NASA contracts to fly astronauts to and from the space station on commercial space taxis.

SpaceX launched the first Crew Dragon on March 2, with the spacecraft docking itself at the orbiting laboratory a day later. Crew Dragon returned to Earth on March 8 and was retrieved from the Atlantic Ocean. During the Demo-1 mission, NASA and SpaceX streamed live video of the flight's launch, docking and reentry, as well as test operations inside the Crew Dragon capsule by astronauts on the space station.
"Throughout NASA's coverage, the agency and SpaceX engaged social media users around the world and at local social media influencer gatherings at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida," NASA officials said in a statement.
NASA is also nominated for a second Emmy for the agency's its coverage of the InSight Mars landing in November 2018. The agency is nominated for an Outstanding Original Interactive Program for its InSight Mars mission. The nomination is for all of the agency's Insight coverage, "including news, web, education, television and social media efforts," agency officials said in the statement.
The decision on that award, one way or another, is expected tonight (Sept. 15) during the second night of the Creative Awards Emmys.
NASA officials have said that an edited version of the ceremonies will air Sept. 21 on the cable channel FXX, and will appear in the full 71st Primetime Emmys broadcast on Sept. 22.
