Other astronauts assigned to crew the first flight tests and missions of the Boeing CST-100 Starliner and SpaceX Crew Dragon also were announced during the event.

Glover piloted SpaceX’s Crew Dragon, which splashed down on May 2, 2021, that carried fellow NASA astronauts Michael Hopkins and Shannon Walker, and Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency astronaut Soichi Noguchi. The mission returned to Earth in a parachute-assisted splashdown at 2:56 a.m. EDT off the coast of Panama City, Florida. Crews aboard SpaceX recovery vessels successfully recovered the spacecraft and astronauts.

2018年8月3日星期五，在德克萨斯州休斯顿的美国宇航局约翰逊航天中心举行的一次活动中，宇航员维克多·格洛弗被分配到SpaceX的龙飞船上执行第一次国际空间站任务。 波音CST-100星际客机和SpaceX货运龙飞船的首次飞行测试和任务的其他宇航员也在活动中宣布。

格洛弗驾驶的SpaceX公司的载人龙飞船于2021年5月2日溅落地面，搭载着美国宇航局宇航员迈克尔·霍普金斯和香农·沃克，以及日本宇宙航空研究开发机构宇航员野口昭一。该任务于美国东部时间凌晨2点56分在佛罗里达州巴拿马城海岸通过降落伞溅落返回地球。SpaceX回收飞船上的工作人员成功地回收了飞船和宇航员。
