SpaceX and NASA are targeting no earlier than Monday, February 27 for Falcon 9’s launch of Dragon’s sixth operational human spaceflight mission (Crew-6) to the International Space Station from Launch Complex 39A (LC-39A) at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The instantaneous launch window is at 1:45 a.m. ET (6:45 UTC), with a backup opportunity available on Tuesday, February 28 at 1:22 a.m. ET (6:22 UTC). The Dragon spacecraft supporting this mission previously flew Demo-2, Crew-2, and Axiom Space’s Ax-1 to and from the space station. Following stage separation, Falcon 9’s first stage will land on the Just Read the Instructions droneship stationed in the Atlantic Ocean. During their time on the orbiting laboratory, the crew will conduct over 200 science experiments and technology demonstrations in areas such as life and physical sciences to advanced materials, technology development, in-space production applications, and even student-led research. The SpaceX webcast for the Crew-6 mission will go live about one hour before liftoff, in the video published on Feb 27, 2023, by SpaceX, as “Crew-6 Mission|Launch“, below:
The #Crew6 mission to the International Space Station is targeted for liftoff at 1:45 a.m. EST (0645 UTC) on Monday, Feb. 27, 2023, from Launch Complex 39A at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida. NASA astronauts Stephen Bowen and Warren “Woody” Hoburg, as well as UAE (United Arab Emirates) astronaut Sultan Alneyadi and Roscosmos cosmonaut Andrey Fedyaev, will launch aboard their Dragon Endeavour spacecraft atop a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket. Visit our Crew-6 blog for the latest mission updates: https://blogs.nasa.gov/crew-6/ This will be the fourth trip to space for Bowen, the Crew-6 mission commander, and the first space launch for the rest of the crew. They’ll spend approximately six months on the station, helping us learn how to live in space while conducting research to make life better back on Earth. Learn more about the mission, its crew, and some of the science they’ll be working on at https://go.nasa.gov/3jclMmJ. Following launch and ascent, NASA coverage of agency’s Crew-6 flight to the space station will temporarily switch to a streaming, audio-only feed accessible via YouTube, between ascent and the beginning of rendezvous operations. Viewers can continue to listen to real-time audio between Crew-6 and flight controllers at NASA’s Mission Audio stream (https://www.youtube.com/live/3slokO2g1v0), which also includes conversations with astronauts aboard the space station and a live video feed from the orbiting laboratory. Full coverage on NASA TV will resume at 12:45 p.m. EST (1745 UTC) on Feb. 27, 2023, published on Feb 27, 2023, by NASA, as “NASA’s SpaceX Crew-6 Mission Launches to the Space Station (Official NASA Broadcast in 4K)“, below:
