NASA’s SpaceX Crew-10 crew members continue making their way to the International Space Station with docking now targeted about 12:07 a.m. EDT Sunday, March 16.
NASA astronauts Anne McClain, commander and Nichole Ayers, pilot, mission specialists JAXA (Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency) astronaut Takuya Onishi and Roscosmos cosmonaut Kirill Peskov, and their SpaceX Dragon spacecraft have reached orbit, and the nosecone has opened. The crew will spend roughly the next 28.5 hours to rendezvous and dock to the International Space Station. […]
The SpaceX Dragon spacecraft has separated from the Falcon 9’s second stage and is flying on its own. The spacecraft is traveling at approximately 17,500 miles per hour (28,200 kilometers per hour). In less than a minute, the Dragon nosecone open sequence will begin.
The first stage of the SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket has completed its descent and landed at the company’s Landing Zone 1 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida.
SpaceX’s Falcon 9 rocket has reached Max-Q, the moment of peak mechanical stress on the rocket.
The first and second stages have separated.
Next, the rocket’s first stage booster is scheduled to land at SpaceX’s Landing Zone 1 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida.
NASA’s SpaceX Crew-10 mission lifted off at 7:03 p.m. EDT from Launch Complex 39A at the agency’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida. NASA astronauts Anne McClain, commander, and Nichole Ayers, pilot, along with mission specialists JAXA (Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency) astronaut Takuya Onishi and Roscosmos cosmonaut Kirill Peskov, are experiencing 2 g while SpaceX’s Dragon spacecraft and Falcon 9 […]
Fuel loading is complete on the Falcon 9 rocket’s second stage. Everything remains on target for the 7:03 p.m. EDT scheduled launch of NASA’s SpaceX Crew-10 mission from the agency’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida. In just a few moments, a rapid series of events will take place when the SpaceX Falcon 9 begins engine […]
The crew access arm retracted, and momentarily the Dragon spacecraft’s launch escape system will be armed. This will allow the Crew-10 crew members to escape safely in the unlikely event of an anomaly from the moment the SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket lifts off until the time they reach orbit.
Propellant loading is expected to begin shortly.
NASA astronauts Anne McClain, commander, and Nichole Ayers, pilot, along with mission specialists JAXA (Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency) astronaut Takuya Onishi and Roscosmos cosmonaut Kirill Peskov, have received the “go” for tonight’s launch to the International Space Station. Liftoff is less than an hour away. The launch team just verified controllers can soon begin loading […]
Technicians with SpaceX completed their checks inside Dragon’s spacecraft and closed the hatch.
The technicians will examine the hatch seal for any leaks. Once complete, the launch director with SpaceX will verify a “go” for propellant load.
