SpaceX Crew-1 Live Launch

Two Tesla vehicles carrying the NASA SpaceX Crew-1 astronauts are on their way to Launch Complex 39A on Nov. 15, 2020, at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida. Inside the vehicles are NASA astronaut Michael Hopkins, spacecraft commander; NASA astronaut Victor Glover, pilot; NASA astronaut Shannon Walker, mission specialist; and Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency astronaut Soichi Noguchi, mission specialist. 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 Pad 39A to the space station for a six-month science mission.
