Return Flight Although the Crew Dragon being used for this flight test can stay in orbit about 110 days, the specific mission duration will be determined once on station based on the readiness of the next commercial crew launch. The operational Crew Dragon spacecraft will be capable of staying in orbit for at least 210 days as a NASA requirement. At the conclusion of the mission, Behnken and Hurley will board Crew Dragon, which will then autonomously undock, depart the space station, and re-enter Earth’s atmosphere. Upon splashdown off Florida’s Atlantic Coast, the crew will be picked up by the SpaceX recovery ship and returned to the dock at Cape Canaveral. Crew-1 Crew-1 will be the first in a series of regular, rotational flights to the International Space Station following NASA’s certification of the new SpaceX crewed system. Certification will follow completion and validation of SpaceX’s test flight with astronauts, known as Demo-2. Pending the successful Demo-2 test, NASA astronauts Victor Glover, Mike Hopkins, Shannon Walker and JAXA astronaut Soichi Noguchi will launch aboard Crew Dragon on SpaceX’s Falcon 9 rocket from Launch Complex 39A at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The crew will remain on station for approximately six months. The Crew-1 mission is targeted for later in 2020.
