SpaceX Crew-9 is planned to be the ninth crewed operational NASA Commercial Crew flight of a Crew Dragon spacecraft, and the 15th overall crewed orbital flight. The mission is planned to launch no earlier than August 2024.[2]

The Crew-9 mission will transport four crew members to the International Space Station (ISS). As of February 2024[update], three NASA astronauts, Zena Cardman, Nick Hague, and Stephanie Wilson, and one Roscosmos cosmonaut, Aleksandr Gorbunov, have been assigned to the mission.[1]

Notes

  1. ^ Counting the aborted flight of Soyuz MS-10, even though this did not quite cross the Kármán line. This matches NASA's count, though RSA follows the Kármán line definition.[3]
