SpaceX | Crew-7 Mission | Launch

SpaceX and NASA are targeting no earlier than Saturday, August 26 for Falcon 9’s launch of Dragon’s seventh operational human spaceflight mission (Crew-7) to the International Space Station from Launch Complex 39A (LC-39A) at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida

The instantaneous launch window is at 3:27 a.m. ET (07:27 UTC), with a backup opportunity available on Sunday, August 27 at 3:04 a.m. ET (07:04 UTC).


The Dragon spacecraft supporting this mission previously flew NASA’s Crew-3 and Crew-5 missions to and from the space station. Following stage separation, Falcon 9’s first stage will land on Landing Zone 1 (LZ-1) at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station.


During their time on the orbiting laboratory, the crew will conduct science and technology demonstrations to prepare for human exploration beyond low-Earth orbit and to benefit humanity on Earth.


The SpaceX webcast for the Crew-7 mission will go live about one hour before liftoff.
