SpaceX Crew-2 (also known as simply Crew-2) will be the second crewed operational flight of SpaceX's Crew Dragon spacecraft and the third overall orbital flight, due to be launched in 2021.[1] No crew has been publicly announced yet.

Mission

Following the successful launch of SpaceX Demo-2, NASA said it will allow a previously-flown Crew Dragon vehicle to fly crew to the Space Station starting with the Crew-2 mission.[2] Crew Dragon C207 was originally planned to be used for Crew-2, but was reassigned to Crew-1 following a scheduling change that followed the destruction of Crew Dragon C201 in a testing accident.[3]
