SpaceX Demo-2 Prep Heats Up
While the SpaceX Crew Dragon spacecraft that will launch its first crew from American soil is already at the launch site, the NASA astronauts who will head to the International Space Station aboard it are deep in training for Demo-2. This flight test will be SpaceX’s first with crew in support of the agency’s Commercial Crew Program.
The SpaceX Crew Dragon will launch atop a Falcon 9 rocket with NASA astronauts Bob Behnken and Doug Hurley from historic Launch Complex 39A from NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The spacecraft now will undergo final testing and prelaunch processing in a SpaceX facility on nearby Cape Canaveral Air Force Station.
The big day is on the way … Meanwhile, Behnken and Hurley continue prepping for their historic test flight.
