NASA's SpaceX Crew-6: Crew Dragon Endeavour Spacecraft | Kennedy Space Center

NASA's SpaceX Crew-6: Crew Dragon Endeavour Spacecraft | Kennedy Space Center


The Crew Dragon Endeavour spacecraft for NASA’s SpaceX Crew-6 mission arrives at SpaceX’s hangar at Kennedy Space Center’s Launch Complex 39A in Florida on Feb. 19, 2023. The capsule arrived at the launch complex after making the short journey from its nearby processing facility at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station. NASA astronauts Stephen Bowen, commander; Warren “Woody” Hoburg, pilot; and mission specialists astronaut Sultan Alneyadi (United Arab Emirates) and Roscosmos cosmonaut Andrey Fedyaev (Russia) will lift off aboard Endeavour—on the company’s Falcon 9 rocket—from Launch Complex 39A at Kennedy for the International Space Station (ISS) beginning a six-month space research mission. Liftoff is targeted for no earlier than Sunday, Feb. 26, 2023. 

NASA’s Commercial Crew Program (CCP) works with the American aerospace industry to provide safe, reliable, and cost-effective transportation to and from the International Space Station on American-made rockets and spacecraft launching from American soil.

An international partnership of space agencies provides and operates the elements of the International Space Station (ISS). The principals are the space agencies of the United States, Russia, Europe, Japan, and Canada. The ISS has been the most politically complex space exploration program ever undertaken.
