NASA is targeting July 31 for the launch of its next astronaut mission with SpaceX. The flight, called Crew-11, will lift off atop a Falcon 9 rocket from Launch Complex-39A (LC-39A), at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida, sending the Crew Dragon Endeavour to low Earth orbit (LEO). The flight will mark the sixth mission for Endeavour, making it SpaceX's most-flown Crew Dragon spacecraft.
Aboard, NASA astronauts Zena Cardman (Crew-11 commander) and Mike Fincke (pilot) will be joined by mission specialists Kimiya Yui from the Japanese Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA), and Oleg Platonov, of the Russian space agency Roscosmos. This will be the first spaceflight for Cardman and Platonov, the second for Yui and the fourth for Fincke.
