SpaceX installs Dragon spaceship on the rocket that ll take it to space (again)

April 15, 2021 For the third time ever, SpaceX has installed a Crew Dragon spacecraft scheduled to launch astronauts on the Falcon 9 rocket that’ll carry it to orbit, sailing past one of the mission’s last major preflight milestones. Known as Crew-2, the NASA Commercial Crew Program (CCP) mission will be SpaceX’s second operational crew ferry mission after its operational Crew-1 debut launched flawlessly on November 15th, 2020. Since November 16th, the Crew-1 Crew Dragon has been docked to the International Space Station (ISS) in Low Earth Orbit (LEO) – marking at least two major firsts – and won’t return to Earth until Crew-2 has safely joined it at the station.

SpaceX Crew Dragon, four astronauts set for brief flight around the space station

To set the stage for another Dragon launch just a few weeks from now, NASA astronauts are preparing to board a SpaceX Crew Dragon for a brief flight around the International Space Station (ISS). Orbiting roughly 400 km (250 mi) above the Earth’s surface, the ISS and its crew of seven international astronauts have just two docking ports available to manage a growing influx of SpaceX Crew and Cargo Dragon 2 spacecraft, as well as Boeing’s chronically delayed Starliner. While Starliner hasn’t flown since a near-catastrophic orbital debut in December 2019 and isn’t likely to reattempt that uncrewed flight test until the second half of 2021, SpaceX is in the exact opposite position as it prepares to sustain an unprecedented Dragon launch cadence.

From the Archive: 2018 Interview with Sen Bill Nelson

President Biden recently announced his pick for NASA administrator former Florida Senator Bill Nelson selecting another former congressman to follow Jim Bridenstine. He is known for being the second member of congress to travel to space, as he was a payload specialist on a Columbia Space Shuttle mission in January 1986. In 2018, when Nelson was a senator and ranking member of Committee on Commerce, Science, & Transportation, he spoke with Via Satellite about bipartisan leadership in space, investment in the private sector, and the Space Launch System (SLS) rocket. He also elaborated on his criticism that President Trump chose a politician to lead NASA. Nelson argued that a NASA administrator should be free of political baggage and must understand the complex technical issues involved in human spaceflight safety decisions.
