NASA and SPACEX called the date of sending the Crew Dragon ship with several astronauts on board to the International Space Station (ISS), reported on the website of the European Space Research website (ESA).
Crew Dragon will go to the ISS on October 30. Sunday, October 31, will remain a backup date if you need a second start-up attempt. The launch will be carried out using Falcon 9 media missile from the Kennedy Space Center starter in Florida.
“Astronauts will go to a long scientific mission aboard the orbital laboratory, where they will live and work,” is emphasized in the statement.
On board Crew Dragon there will be a German cosmonaut Matias Maurer, as well as Astronauts NASA Raja Chari (Mission Commander), Tom Marshr (Pilot) and Kyle Barron.
September 16 Spacex first launched a ship with a civilian crew from a cosmodrome at Cape Canaveral in Florida, USA. It was planned that the flight would last about three days.
