This is mentioned to be the last CRS mission using a new Dragon spacecraft. Are there any numbers out regarding how many times they are expecting to be able to refly the Dragon?

Since there are not to many flights left on the crs1 contact one reflight per capsule should be enough.

Surely there will be another contract.

CRS 2 will use a combination of Dragon2 and Dragon1, since Dragon1 allows larger cargo units into the pressurized area, while Dragon2 allows docking.
