USCV-1 (US Crew Vehicle-1), Crew-1 or Crew-One will be the first crewed operational flight of SpaceX's Crew Dragon spacecraft.[1][2] The new name for this mission will be SpaceX Crew Dragon-1.[3] It is expected to launch in the second half of 2020 with a crew of three, and is planned to be the third orbital flight of Crew Dragon overall. It will transport four members of the Expedition 64 crew to the International Space Station.

Mike Hopkins and Victor Glover were announced as the crew on 3 August 2018.[4] Japanese Astronaut Soichi Noguchi and a third NASA Astronaut, Shannon Walker were added (unofficial) to the crew closer to the launch date.[5]
