NASA astronaut Mike Hopkins will team with NASA astronaut Victor Glover on SpaceX’s first operational mission to the International Space Station onboard the company’s Crew Dragon spacecraft. They joined fellow commercial crew astronauts Bob Behnken, Eric Boe, Josh Cassada, Chris Ferguson, Nicole Mann, Doug Hurley and Suni Williams for a celebration at Johnson Space Center in Houston on Aug. 3, 2018. Mann, Boe and Ferguson will fly onboard Boeing’s CST-100 Starliner in the company’s Crew Flight Test to the space station, while Cassada and Williams will fly on Starliner’s first operational mission to station. Behnken and Hurley are assigned to SpaceX’s Demo-2 flight test to the space station onboard Crew Dragon.
