NASA's SpaceX Crew-1: Astronaut Walkout |
|
NASA astronauts Michael Hopkins, Victor Glover, and Shannon Walker, and astronaut Soichi Noguchi of the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA), suited in their SpaceX spacesuits, walk out of the Neil Armstrong Operations and Checkout Building at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida ahead of liftoff on the agency's SpaceX Crew-1 mission. Crew-1 is the first regular crew mission of a U.S. commercial spacecraft with astronauts to the International Space Station as part of NASA’s Commercial Crew Program. The SpaceX Crew Dragon Resilience capsule will launch atop the company’s Falcon 9 rocket from Launch Complex 39A to the space station for a six-month science mission.
