NASA’s SpaceX Crew-3 mission is the third crew rotation mission of the SpaceX Crew Dragon spacecraft and Falcon 9 rocket to the International Space Station as part of the agency’s Commercial Crew Program. Chari, Marshburn, Barron, Maurer launched at 9:03 p.m. EST from Launch Complex 39A at the Kennedy Space Center to begin a six month mission onboard the orbital outpost. 2021年11月10日星期三，在NASA位于佛罗里达州的肯尼迪航天中心，载人龙飞船搭载着SpaceX猎鹰9号火箭搭载着该公司的载人龙飞船在Crew-3任务中发射，前往空间站。载人龙飞船上载有NASA宇航员拉贾·查里、汤姆·马什本、凯拉·巴伦和欧空局（European Space Agency）宇航员马蒂亚斯·毛雷尔，他们前往国际空间站执行任务。NASA的SpaceX Crew-3任务是SpaceX载人龙飞船和猎鹰9号火箭前往国际空间站的第三次机组人员轮换任务，是NASA商业宇航员计划的一部分。查里、马什本、巴伦、毛雷尔于美国东部时间晚上9:03从肯尼迪航天中心的39A发射场发射，开始在轨道前哨执行为期六个月的任务。 Image credit: NASA/Aubrey Gemignani 图片来源：NASA/Aubrey Gemignani

The SpaceX Crew Dragon Endeavour spacecraft is lifted onto the GO Navigator recovery ship after it landed with NASA astronauts Shane Kimbrough and Megan McArthur, Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) astronaut Aki Hoshide, and ESA (European Space Agency) astronaut Thomas Pesquet in the Gulf of Mexico off the coast of Pensacola, Florida, Monday, Nov. 8, 2021. Kimbrough, McArthur, Hoshide, and Pesquet traveled 84,653,119 statute miles during their mission, stayed 198 days aboard the space station, and completed 3,194 orbits around Earth. 2021年11月8日星期一，SpaceX的奋进号载人龙飞船与NASA宇航员谢恩·金姆布罗和梅根·麦克阿瑟、日本宇宙航空研究开发机构（JAXA）宇航员星出彰彦和ESA（欧洲航天局）宇航员托马斯·佩斯凯在佛罗里达州彭萨科拉海岸的墨西哥湾溅落后被吊上GO Navigator回收船。金姆布罗、麦克阿瑟、星出彰彦和佩斯凯在执行任务期间旅行了84,653,119公理英里，在空间站上停留了198天，并完成了3,194次绕地球的轨道。 NASA’s SpaceX Crew-2 mission is the second operational mission of the SpaceX Crew Dragon spacecraft and Falcon 9 rocket to the International Space Station as part of the agency’s Commercial Crew Program, which has worked with the U.S. aerospace industry to launch…

A United Launch Alliance Atlas V rocket with Boeing’s CST-100 Starliner spacecraft aboard is seen as it is rolled out of the Vertical Integration Facility on Monday, Aug. 2, 2021, to the launch pad at Space Launch Complex 41 ahead of the Orbital Flight Test-2 mission at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida. Boeing’s Orbital Flight Test-2 will be Starliner’s second uncrewed flight test and will dock to the International Space Station as part of NASA’s Commercial Crew Program. The mission, currently targeted for launch at 1:20 p.m. EDT Tuesday, Aug. 3, will serve as an end-to-end test of the system’s capabilities.

NASA and Boeing have completed Starliner’s last parachute balloon-drop test designed to strengthen the spacecraft’s landing system ahead of crewed flights to and from the International Space Station. Read the full story. The tests, developed by Boeing and NASA, used six balloon-drop tests of a Starliner test article to gather supplemental performance data on the spacecraft’s parachutes and landing system. Each drop test focused on a different set of adverse conditions and used pre-flown parachutes to evaluate reusability margins for future missions. Starliner will be the first American-made orbital crew capsule to land on land. The spacecraft uses a series of parachutes and airbags that deploy at specific altitudes allowing Starliner to touch down gently in the desert of the western United States. NASA also…
