The Crew Dragon spacecraft Resilience was expected to launch on 31 October 2020 on a Falcon 9 from the Kennedy Space Center, LC-39A. The launch was postponed due to bad weather and was eventually launched on 15 November.[6]
It carried NASA astronauts Michael Hopkins, Victor Glover and Shannon Walker along with JAXA astronaut Soichi Noguchi, all members of the Expedition 64 crew.[7] The mission is the second overall crewed orbital flight of the Crew Dragon,[9] pending the certification of the vehicle.[10]
