The mission will utilize a reusable Dragon spacecraft, previously flown on Demo-2, Crew-2, Ax-1, Crew-6, and Crew-8 missions, and a Falcon 9 rocket, with its first stage landing at Landing Zone 1 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station.
The crew, consisting of Commander Zena Cardman, Pilot Michael Fincke, Mission Specialist Kimiya Yui, and Mission Specialist Oleg Platonov, will conduct research on the ISS to advance human exploration beyond low-Earth orbit and benefit life on Earth.
A live webcast will be available on SpaceX’s website, X @SpaceX, and the X TV app, starting one hour before liftoff.
