SpaceX Crew-1[3][4] (also known as USCV-1 or simply Crew-1)[5] will be the first crewed operational flight of a Crew Dragon spacecraft, and the second overall crewed orbital flight.[6] The mission will launch in late September 2020, pending the outcome of the SpaceX Demo-2 mission,[2] and will transport four members of the Expedition 64 crew to the International Space Station.[7]

Crew

Michael S. Hopkins and Victor J. Glover were announced as the crew on 3 August 2018.[8] A Japanese astronaut, Soichi Noguchi, and a third NASA astronaut, Shannon Walker, were added on 31 March 2020 to the crew.[9]

Mission

The first operational mission in the Commercial Crew Program, originally designated "USCV-1" by NASA, was initially announced in November 2012, with a launch date set for November 2016.[11] In late March/April 2013, it was announced that the launch would be delayed by one year to November 2017.[11] As of June 2020, the mission is now expected to launch in late September 2020.[2][7] The Crew Dragon spacecraft serial number C207, will dock to the International Docking Adapter (IDA) on the Harmony module. The mission involves four crew members; in preparation for the launch, NASA and Roscosmos officials designated a backup Soyuz spacecraft.[12]

Preparations

The Falcon 9 for the Crew-1 mission arrived at Cape Canaveral, Florida on 14 July 2020.[13]
