During a teleconference Tuesday, Feb. 21, at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida, NASA provided an update on NASA’s SpaceX Crew-6 mission to the International Space Station. Liftoff, from Kennedy’s Launch Complex 39A, is scheduled for Monday, Feb. 27, at 1:45 a.m. EST. There will be live coverage of the launch on NASA TV and the agency’s website, beginning at 10 p.m. on Sunday, February 26.

Managers from NASA and SpaceX, along with international partners, met Tuesday as part of the Flight Readiness Review (FRR) of the sixth mission with SpaceX to the Microgravity Laboratory. The FRR focused on the readiness of SpaceX’s crew transport system, the space station and its international partners to support the flight.

The Crew-6 launch will carry two NASA astronauts, mission commander Stephen Bowen and pilot Warren “Woody” Hoburg, along with United Arab Emirates (UAE) astronaut Sultan Alneyadi and Roscosmos cosmonaut Andrey Fedyaev. They will fly on SpaceX’s Crew Dragon spacecraft Endeavour.

Crew-6 will spend up to six months on the space station before returning to Earth. The mission marks the fourth spaceflight for Bowen, who flew STS-126 in 2008, STS-132 in 2010 and STS-133 in 2011, while Crew-6 will be the first spaceflight for Hoburg, Alneyadi and Fedyaev.
