SUMMARY:LAUNCH OF CREW-9 TO ISS\, Sept 28\, 2024\, CCSFS\, 1:17 pm ET (NASA coverage begins 9:10 am ET)
DESCRIPTION:Update\, September 25:  The launch is still scheduled for September 28. Launch coverage will begin at 9:10 am ET NASA+ and the agency’s website. \nUpdate\, September 24:  The launch has been postponed to no earlier than (NET) 1:17 pm ET on Saturday\, September 28\, due to tropical storm Helene\, which is expected to become a hurricane. \nUpdate\, September 19:  NASA+ launch coverage begins at 10:00 am ET on September 26. \nThe crew arrives at KSC on September 21\, a pre-launch briefing is on September 25\, and a post-launch briefing is on September 26 at 3:30 pm ET.  See our separate Calendar entries for details. \nUpdate\, September 18:  The date has slipped another day\, to September 26 at 2:05 pm ET. \n\nNASA and SpaceX are targeting no earlier than Thursday\, Sept. 26 for the launch of the #Crew9 mission to the @Space_Station\, with back-up dates on Friday\, Sept. 27 and Saturday\, Sept. 28. \nJoint teams continue to work through prelaunch operations and hardware processing ahead of… pic.twitter.com/DDIwvxxexX \n— NASA Commercial Crew (@Commercial_Crew) September 18\, 2024 \n\nUpdate\, September 13:  The launch date for Hague and Gorbunov has slipped by one day to September 25. Launch time is 2:28 pm ET. \nCrew-9 crew members (L-R): Aleksandr Gorbunov (Roscosmos) and Nick Hague (NASA).  Photo Credit: NASA/Josh Valcarel\nOriginal Entry: NASA plans to launch the next regular crew rotation mission\, Crew-9\, to the International Space Station on September 24\, 2024. The time was not provided as of August 30. \nThe Crew-9 mission has encountered a number of changes because of the Boeing Starliner Crew Flight Test mission. \nNASA originally selected a typical crew of four for Crew-9 — NASA astronauts Zena Cardman (commander)\, Nick Hague (pilot)\, Stephanie Wilson (mission specialist) and Roscosmos cosmonaut Aleksandr Gorbunov (mission specialist). \nOriginal Crew-9: Stephanie Wilson (NASA)\, Aleksandr Gorbunov (Roscosmos)\, Nick Hague (NASA)\, Zena Cardman (NASA). Credit: NASA\nProblems with Starliner’s propulsion system led NASA to delay the Crew-9 launch from its originally scheduled date of August 18 while they determined if Starliner would be safe enough to return the two astronauts it delivered to the ISS\, Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams\, to Earth.  NASA set a new date for Crew-9 of September 24. \nOn August 24\, NASA decided that Starliner would return empty\, leaving Butch and Suni on the ISS. They now will become part of Crew-9 and return with them in February 2025. \nThat means two of the four seats on Crew-9 had to be reallocated to them and two of the original Crew-9 members will have to have wait for another opportunity. \nOn August 30\, NASA announced that Hague and Gorbunov will be the ones to fly. Cardman and Wilson are off the crew. \nThis will be the first launch of a crew from SpaceX’s Launch Complex 40 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station (CCSFS)\, adjacent to Kennedy Space Center\, ordinarily used for satellite launches. Crew Dragon usually launches from KSC’s Launch Complex 39A\, but there are so many launches now SpaceX decided a second crew-capable pad was needed and retrofitted LC-40 to accommodate crews.  In this case\, SpaceX’s Falcon Heavy will be on LC39A preparing to launch NASA’s Europa Clipper mission and is not available for Crew-9.
