NASA has identified the following manned missions Crew Dragon to the International space station (ISS), which will go into orbit in the spring of 2021, said the us space Agency on Tuesday.
In the crew of the second commercial flight of the ship in orbit will include two NASA astronauts Shane Kimbro (the captain) and Megan MacArthur, and Japanese astronaut Akihiko Hoshide and Frenchman Thomas Sands. It is planned that the crew will travel to the ISS in the spring of 2021, and will remain at the space station for about six months.
French astronaut Thomas Sands next year will go into space on the spacecraft Crew Dragon.
"The end of uncertainty: next year I will fly to (the space ship) Crew Dragon (company) SpaceX. Exercise in his futuristic cockpit has already begun," wrote Sand in his Twitter.
The first contract flight spacecraft Crew Dragon with four crew members on the International space station will be held before the end of September, NASA announced Wednesday.
"The launch is planned no earlier than the end of September and will be followed by the successful return from the space station, NASA astronauts Robert Behnken and Douglas Hurley and analysis of NASA and SpaceX's second demonstration flight," said NASA on Wednesday.

Three American astronauts and Russian cosmonaut Anatoly Ivanishin, located on the International space station, spent an hour inside the spacecraft Crew Dragon, Elon musk, to evaluate its comfort, said NASA.
The spacecraft Crew Dragon with a crew of two flew to the ISS in late may. This is his first manned test flight is expected to last until early August.
NASA has identified more than 80 problems requiring revision in the created by Boeing piloted spaceship Cockpit, the date of his re test flight is still not defined, reported by NASA on Tuesday.
In December 2019, the ship Cockpit made its first test flight without a crew. For technical reasons, its docking with the ISS was cancelled. A few months later, after a failed test, the Deputy head of NASA for manned spaceflight Douglas Loverro said that the results of its first unmanned flight Starliner experts have identified more than 60 of the issues. He noted that the ship could double to lose.

"We plan to return in early August... at the earliest – 2 - August," said Stich.
The founder of SpaceX Elon Musk commented on the article the General Director of Roscosmos, Dmitry Rogozin, dedicated to the flight of an American spacecraft Crew Dragon crew to the International space station.
Rogozin on 8 June published on the website of the Forbes article titled "It's their war, not ours", in which he spoke about the value of the first nine years of American manned spaceflight for the Russian space industry. English translation of the material was published on the website of Roskosmos June 10. He was brought in his Twitter journalist Eric Berger.
The American expert explained why fashion suit SpaceX is not suitable for flight on the Russian Soyuz and compared it with the Russian "the Falcon". About the distinctive features of the American novelties RIA Novosti said Professor North Dakota state University Pablo De Leon (Pablo de León).
The expert stressed that the suits that made its first flight on Crew Dragon astronauts Doug Hurley and Bob Behnken as the Russian "Sokol", as well as blue suits Boeing, designed to fly the ship Cockpit developed exclusively for use on Board the spacecraft and is only required to protect the astronauts in case of emergency depressurization of the ship.
The first three tourists to fly to the International space station Crew on the ship Dragon company SpaceX Elon musk is selected, they will be announced in a month, reported CNBC, citing Executive Director of the company Axiom Space Michael Suffredini.

Between the Mask and the head of "Roskosmos" Dmitry Rogozin has any correspondence debate. Since 2011 and until last Saturday, American astronauts flew to the International space station, only Russian spacecraft "Soyuz". After the imposition of sanctions against the Russian space industry, Rogozin suggested that the United States to send their astronauts to the ISS using the trampoline. The Mask company successfully launched a reusable spacecraft Crew Dragon, then the owner joked that "a trampoline works."
NASA has confirmed that the crew commander Crew Dragon Doug Hurley struck his forehead during the transition from the ship to the International space station.
"Yes, he hit his head, it happens in orbit, but he's fine, he looked great at the press conference," - said at a briefing after docking the Deputy head of the manned program of NASA's Steve Stich.
NASA astronaut Bob Behnken on arrival at the International space station (ISS) talked about their feelings during the first manned flight Crew Dragon.
"Flight in the space Shuttle into orbit is quite hard, because it flies solid-propellant boosters, and we expect that as the transition (flight Crew Dragon) to the second stage all will be much smoother than a Shuttle, but the Dragon snorted and puffed all the way to orbit, and we certainly carried it on orbit," Behnken said. According to him, this feeling was surprising both crew members.
The commander of the 63rd crew of the International space station, NASA astronaut Chris Cassidy said, what will you do in orbit who arrived on the ship Dragon Crew astronauts Doug Hurley and Bob Behnken.

The Mask company successfully launched a reusable spacecraft Crew Dragon, then the owner joked that "a trampoline works."
The crew of the ship Crew Dragon has difficulty with communication with the Ground wire line of the ISS, communication is maintained by radio, NASA will broadcast live.
After arriving at the space station and the completion of the automatic docking, the ISS commander Christopher Cassidy started system connection of power supply and wired connection between the arriving device and the station. Crew Dragon is now integrated into the system of the ISS, and receives power from the station, but there was a failure in the communication system.
Word on the trampoline was not a joke, but a warning, said the head of Roscosmos, Dmitry Rogozin.
In 2014, after the imposition of sanctions against the Russian space industry, who was then the post of Deputy Prime Minister Rogozin suggested that the United States deliver their astronauts to the International space station using a trampoline.

The ship should reach the ISS in 19 hours, and then to make docking with the station in automatic mode. For the US launch Crew Dragon became the first manned launch after the completion of the program "space Shuttle" in 2011. The last 9 years American astronauts were sent into orbit on Russian "the Unions" for a fee. In 2014 in response to American sanctions against the Russian space industry, the head of the Roscosmos, Dmitry Rogozin, who was then Deputy Prime Minister, suggested that the United States deliver its astronauts to the ISS using the trampoline.

On Saturday the Falcon 9 rocket successfully delivered into orbit the spacecraft Crew Dragon with NASA astronauts Bob Behnken and Doug Hurley. On Sunday the scheduled docking of the vessel with the ISS.
The positive moment in the successful launch of the first in nine years, the us spacecraft with the crew is that it will force Russia to think about their space, says the head of the space policy Institute Ivan Moiseev.
On Saturday from the Baikonur at Cape Canaveral launch vehicle Falcon 9 was launched to the International space station, the spacecraft Crew Dragon with a crew of NASA astronauts Douglas Hurley and Robert Behnken. This is the first since July 2011 us manned launch. For 9 years the crews of the ISS was delivered only on the Russian Soyuz spacecraft.

"I want to tell that the crew named their ship the Endeavor (an ambitious endeavor, aspiration)," he said Breidenstein.
The head of NASA Jim Breidenstein said an hour before the start, the weather is perfect for launch of the Falcon 9 rocket with the astronauts.
"The weather is perfect for launch!" - posted by Breidenstein on Twitter.
The second attempt to launch newest American spacecraft Crew Dragon with NASA astronauts on Board is scheduled for Saturday. First, in 2011 the manned flight to the International space station from the United States will depart Douglas Hurley and Robert Behnken, who were preparing to launch on Wednesday, but the team at the start and did not hear - were prevented by the weather.
USA waiting for the resumption of private manned launches since 2011, when he completed the Space Shuttle program. It is symbolic that Hurley was part of the crew of the last mission of the space Shuttle "Atlantis", which marked the closure of the entire program, and will now become commander of the test flight Crew Dragon.
