Making History NASA and SpaceX Launch Astronauts to Space! (Highlights)

SpaceX launched NASA astronauts for the first time. The mission is called Demo-2, and it is the first launch of NASA astronauts from the U.S. since 2011. It is also the first crewed launch in the history of Elon Musk's company, its most important milestone yet. SpaceX postponed the first launch attempted due to severe weather in the area.

Space Station travels at 27,600 Km/Hr (17,150 miles per hour)

G-Force Comparisons:
- Falcon 9 experiences around 2.3g on take off.
- Apollo days they threw around 6g to 8g during peak launch accelerations.
- Mercury-Atlas missions peaking around 7g
- The Space Shuttle was limited to 3 g for all phases of flight, for payload design/carriage reasons.
- SpaceX Dragon capsule abort system g-force around 3.7g

SpaceX/Crew-4 Mission - Falcon 9 Rocket Launch to the International Space Station

SpaceX Crew-4 will be the Crew Dragon's fourth NASA Commercial Crew operational flight, and its seventh overall crewed orbital flight. The mission will transport four members of the crew to the International Space Station (ISS). It will be powered by Space X's Falcon 9 first-stage booster: B1067.


As of November 2021, three NASA astronauts and one ESA astronaut have been assigned to the mission. Crew-4 will use a new Crew Dragon spacecraft named Freedom, chosen because it celebrates a fundamental human right, and the industry and innovation that emanate from the unencumbered human spirit. The booster to be used on this mission will be B1067, which makes it the first commercial crew mission to use a booster on its fourth flight (it previously was used to launch SpaceX Crew-3).

CREW:
NASA astronauts Kjell Lindgren and Robert Hines were announced on 12 February 2021 to the crew.Samantha Cristoforetti was named the commander of Expedition 68 on 28 May 2021. Jessica Watkins was named Mission Specialist on 16 November 2021. Cristoforetti was later removed as commander of Expedition 68 due to the shortening of the Crew-4 mission.

Falcon 9’s launch of Crew Dragon’s (Demo-2) Launch !

SpaceX Launch!!! Elon Musk Is Briliant.

Crew Dragon Launch

On the afternoon of May 30th, SpaceX is slated to launch its very first passengers to space, potentially heralding a new era of human spaceflight for the United States. It’ll be the first time in nearly a decade that people have launched to orbit from American soil.

The launch is historic in part because it ends a nearly 10-yearlong U.S. dependency on Russia for seats to space. It also marks the first time Elon Musk's private space firm, SpaceX, is launching astronauts.

Behnken and Hurley were among the first astronauts to begin working and training on SpaceX’s next-generation human space vehicle and were selected for their extensive test pilot and flight experience, including several missions on the space shuttle.

Behnken will be the joint operations commander for the mission, responsible for activities such as rendezvous, docking and undocking, as well as Demo-2 activities while the spacecraft is docked to the space station. He was selected as a NASA astronaut in 2000 and has completed two space shuttle flights. Behnken flew STS-123 in March 2008 and STS-130 in February 2010, and he performed three spacewalks during each mission. Born in St. Anne, Missouri, he has bachelor’s degrees in physics and mechanical engineering from Washington University and earned a master’s and doctorate in mechanical engineering from California Institute of Technology. Before joining NASA, Behnken was a flight test engineer with the U.S. Air Force.

Hurley will be the spacecraft commander for Demo-2, responsible for activities such as launch, landing and recovery. He was selected as an astronaut in 2000 and has completed two spaceflights. Hurley served as pilot and lead robotics operator for both STS‐127 in July 2009 and STS‐135, the final space shuttle mission, in July 2011. The New York native was born in Endicott but considers Apalachin his hometown. He holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Civil Engineering from Tulane University in Louisiana and graduated from the U.S. Naval Test Pilot School in Maryland. Before joining NASA, he was a fighter pilot and test pilot in the U.S. Marine Corps.

SpaceX/Axiom-1 Launch to the International Space Station

We covered the SpaceX/Axiom-1 launch on Crew Dragon Endeavour to the International Space Station. This was the Crew Dragon’s second private astronaut launch.

The spaceflight, designated as Axiom Mission 1 (Ax-1), will launch at 11:17am EDT from NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida aboard a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket and travel to the International Space Station. Once aboard the orbiting laboratory, the four-person Axiom Space crew will conduct science, outreach, and commercial activities for eight days before their return to Earth. NASA and Axiom mission planners will coordinate in-orbit activities for the private astronauts to conduct in coordination with space station crew members and flight controllers on the ground.

On Saturday, the Axiom-1 crew will reach the ISS. We will be covering the rendezvous, docking, hatch opening, and welcoming ceremony of the Axiom-1 crew on the International Space Station. Docking scheduled at 6:45 a.m. EDT on Saturday April 9th.

#LaunchAmerica | ???? Live streaming of NASA SpaceX mission Saturday | Robert Behnken & Douglas Hurley

Astronauts, Robert Behnken and Douglas Hurley, are to take off at 3:22 pm Saturday to make them reach the International Space Station safely.


Rocket company SpaceX will make a second attempt in the coming hours to get Nasa astronauts Doug Hurley and Bob Behnken into orbit.

Their flight to the International Space Station (ISS) on Wednesday was postponed because of poor weather at Florida's Kennedy Space Center.

Forecasters say conditions on Saturday will probably be touch and go again.

It follows the spectacular explosion on Friday of a rocket prototype at SpaceX's R&D facility in Texas.

The firm has been trialling a new design for a future vehicle it calls Starship. The latest model was destroyed in the blast.

The development work at Boca Chica, close to the Mexican border, is entirely separate from SpaceX's commercial crew activities with Nasa.



Hurley's and Behnken's lift-off at Kennedy is scheduled for 15:22 EDT (19:22 GMT; 20:22 BST).

There's huge focus on their mission because it will mark the first time that the United States has been able to launch its astronauts to the ISS since the retirement of Nasa's space shuttles in 2011.

It will also be the first occasion that the US space agency has used a private company to transport one of its crews to orbit.


But people were wrong if they thought this attention added to the pressure to get the astronauts off the ground, said Nasa Administrator Jim Bridenstine.

We will launch when we are ready, he told reporters. I'll tell you, the President (Donald Trump) and the Vice President (Mike Pence) were proud of the Nasa team and the SpaceX team for making the right call for the right reasons (on Wednesday).
