NASA astronauts Doug Hurley and Bob Behnken familiarize themselves with SpaceX’s Crew Dragon, the spacecraft that will transport them to the International Space Station as part of NASA’s Commercial Crew Program. Their upcoming flight test is known as Demo-2, short for Demonstration Mission 2. The Crew Dragon will launch on SpaceX’s Falcon 9 rocket from Launch Complex 39A at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida. In March 2019, SpaceX completed an uncrewed flight test of Crew Dragon known as Demo-1, which was designed to validate end-to-end systems and capabilities, bringing NASA closer to certification of SpaceX systems to fly a crew.

S123-E-008737 (22 March 2008) --- Astronaut Robert L. Behnken, STS-123 mission specialist, participates in the mission's fifth and final scheduled session of extravehicular activity (EVA) as construction and maintenance continue on the International Space Station. During the spacewalk, Behnken and astronaut Mike Foreman (out of frame), mission specialist, attached the shuttle's Orbiter Boom Sensor System (OBSS) to the S1 truss on the station, released launch locks on two of the Harmony module's common berthing mechanisms and install trunnion covers on the Japanese Logistics Module -- Pressurized Section. The spacewalkers also performed other tasks including an inspection of the starboard Solar Alpha Rotary Joint (SARJ) and installed the Materials International Space Station Experiment 6 (MISSE-6) on the outside of the European Space Agency's Columbus laboratory.

Astronauts Bob Behnken, left, and Eric Boe walk down the Crew Access Arm being built by SpaceX for Launch Complex 39A at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The access arm will be installed on the launch pad, providing a bridge between the launch tower it’s the Fixed Service Structure, as noted below, and SpaceX’s Dragon 2 spacecraft for astronauts flying to the International Space Station on the company’s Falcon 9 rocket as part of NASA’s Commercial Crew Program. The access arm is being readied for installation in early 2018. It will be installed 70 feet higher than the former space shuttle access arm on the launch pad’s Fixed Service Structure. SpaceX continues to modify the historic launch site from its former space shuttle days, removing more than 500,000 pounds of steel from the pad structure, including the Rotating Service Structure that was once used for accessing the payload bay of the shuttle. SpaceX also is using the modernized site to launch commercial payloads, as well as cargo resupply missions to and from the International Space Station for NASA. The first SpaceX launch from the historic Apollo and space shuttle site was this past February. NASA’s Commercial Crew Program is working with private companies, Boeing and SpaceX, with a goal of once again flying people to and from the International Space Station, launching from the United States.
