NASA's SpaceX Crew-11 Training: Behind the Scenes | Johnson Space Center

NASA’s SpaceX Crew-11 mission to the International Space Station will see four people complete a long-duration science expedition in low Earth orbit. NASA astronauts Zena Cardman and Mike Fincke are serving as commander and pilot of the mission. The crew also has two mission specialists, Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) astronaut Kimiya Yui and Roscosmos cosmonaut Oleg Platonov of Russia. They have trained for their mission across the world, including NASA’s Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas, SpaceX facilities in Hawthorne, California, and international training locations. Once their Dragon spacecraft arrives at the orbiting lab, they will spend the next eight months conducting science experiments and technology demonstrations.

The Crew-11 mission is targeted to launch in late July/early August. The crew will launch aboard a SpaceX Dragon spacecraft on the company’s Falcon 9 rocket from Launch Complex 39A.
