Crew-1 Astronaut Arrival - Flag Raising

NASA’s SpaceX Crew-1 flag is raised beneath the American Flag near the countdown clock at the News Center at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida on Nov. 8, 2020. 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 with NASA astronaut Michael Hopkins, spacecraft commander; NASA astronaut Victor Glover, pilot; NASA astronaut Shannon Walker, mission specialist; and JAXA astronaut Soichi Noguchi, mission specialist, to the space station for a six-month science mission.
