The Crew Dragon spacecraft Resilience launched on 16 November 2020 at 00: 27: 17 UTC on a Falcon 9 from the Kennedy Space Center, LC-39A. The mission is the second overall crewed orbital flight of the Crew Dragon. It is also the first crewed night launch by the United States since that of STS-130 in February 2010. Crew-1 is the first operational mission to the International Space Station in the Commercial Crew Program. The flight is expected to last 180 days, meaning the flight will return to Earth sometime around May 2021.
For this mission, the crew had chosen a plush toy of Baby Yoda from The Mandalorian. The crew were awakened on the second day of the flight with Phil Collins’s “In the Air Tonight” Phil Collins: “The crew have docked to the Docking Adapter on the International Docking module on the ISS”. The first unmanned Crew Dragon booster, SN61, landed on the spaceport’s spaceport drone ship Just Read the Instructions on 17 November 2020.
