NASA and SpaceX are gearing up for another milestone moment as they prepare to launch the Crew‑11 mission to the International Space Station (ISS) this Thursday. This mission marks the next exciting chapter in their partnership to support long-duration human spaceflight and cutting-edge research in low-Earth orbit.

NASA is ready to send a fresh crew to the International Space Station Thursday aboard a SpaceX Crew Dragon capsule, including three fliers who were assigned to the flight after NASA ran into problems with Boeing's troubled Starliner capsule last year.
