SpaceX Crew-1 Astronaut Walkout

Family members of NASA SpaceX’s Crew-1 astronauts say goodbye as the astronauts are secured inside two Tesla vehicles for the trip to Launch Complex 39A after emerging from the Neil Armstrong Operations and Checkout Building at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida on Nov. 15, 2020. NASA astronauts Shannon Walker, mission specialist; Michael Hopkins, spacecraft commander; and Victor Glover, pilot; along with JAXA astronaut Soichi Noguchi, mission specialist, will board the Crew Dragon at the launch pad. Crew-1 is the first regular crew mission of a U.S. commercial spacecraft with astronauts to the International Space Station as part of NASA’s Commercial Crew Program. The SpaceX Crew Dragon Resilience capsule will launch atop the company’s Falcon 9 rocket from Pad 39A to the space station for a six-month science mission.
