History
Originally planned to fly the mission after Crew-1, Crew Dragon C207 was reassigned to fly Crew-1 after an anomaly during a static fire test destroyed capsule C201 intended to be re-flown on the Crew Dragon In-Flight Abort Test.[1] The spacecraft intended to be used on C205 Demo-2 replaced the destroyed spacecraft in the abort test. With capsule C206, intended for use in Crew-1, being reasigned to Demo-2, the spacecraft was reassigned to Crew-1. Expected to launch no earlier than 30 August 2020, Crew-1 will be carrying NASA astronauts Michael Hopkins, Victor Glover, and Shannon Walker, and JAXA astronaut Soichi Noguchi on a six-month mission to the International Space Station.[2] As of May 2020, SpaceX said that the spacecraft is in production.[3]
Long duration mission, will ferry the four members of the Expedition 64/65 crew to the ISS. Will mark the first operational flight of Crew Dragon and of the Commercial Crew Program.
