NASA Live: Official Stream of NASA TV Four International Space Station crew members will climb aboard a SpaceX Crew Dragon spacecraft on Thursday and take it on a very short journey.
Recommended Videos The plan is for NASA astronauts Matt Dominick, Mike Barratt, and Jeanette Epps, along with Roscosmos cosmonaut Alexander Grebenkin, to relocate the Crew Dragon to a different port to make way for Boeing’s Starliner spacecraft, which is set to fly its first astronauts in a launch from the Kennedy Space Center in Florida on Monday, May 6, before arriving at the ISS on Wednesday, May 8.
The relocation maneuver will be supported by flight controllers at NASA’s Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas, and SpaceX personnel in Hawthorne, California. It will be the fourth port relocation of a Dragon spacecraft with a crew, NASA said, following previous relocations involving SpaceX’s Crew-1, Crew-2, and Crew-6 missions.
The Starliner launch is highly anticipated among those who have been following the development of Boeing’s spacecraft. Upon its arrival at the ISS, it will dock autonomously to the forward-facing port of the Harmony module, bringing NASA astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams to the space station.
