Odbrojavanje za NASA SpaceX Crew-3 Lift Off

NASA will provide coverage of the upcoming prelaunch and launch activities for the agency’s SpaceX Crew-3 mission with astronauts to the International Space Station. This is the third crew rotation mission with astronauts on the SpaceX Crew Dragon spacecraft and the fourth flight with astronauts, including the Demo-2 test flight, as part of the agency’s Commercial Crew Program. 

The launch is targeted for 2:21 a.m. EDT Sunday, Oct. 31, on a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket from Launch Complex 39A at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The Crew Dragon Endurance is scheduled to dock to the space station at 12:10 a.m. Monday, Nov. 1. Prelaunch activities, launch, and docking will air live on NASA Television, the NASA app, and the agency’s website.

The deadline has passed for media accreditation for in-person coverage of this launch. More information about media accreditation is available by emailing: [email zaštićen].

All media participation in the following news conferences will be remote except where specifically listed below, and only a limited number of media will be accommodated at Kennedy due to the ongoing coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. Please note that the Kennedy Press Site facilities will remain closed throughout these events for the protection of Kennedy employees and journalists, except for a limited number of media who will receive confirmation in writing in the coming days.

NASA-in komercijalni program posade ostvario je svoj cilj sigurnog, pouzdanog i isplativog transporta do i od Međunarodne svemirske stanice iz Sjedinjenih Država kroz partnerstvo s američkom privatnom industrijom. Ovo partnerstvo mijenja luk istorije ljudskih svemirskih letova otvarajući pristup niskoj Zemljinoj orbiti i Međunarodnoj svemirskoj stanici za više ljudi, više nauke i više komercijalnih mogućnosti. Svemirska stanica ostaje odskočna daska za NASA-in sljedeći veliki skok u istraživanju svemira, uključujući buduće misije na Mjesec i, na kraju, na Mars.
