SpaceX is planning to launch its sixth full contingent of astronauts to the International Space Station early Monday, as it continues an unparalleled launch cadence of its Falcon 9 rocket and looks to the first orbital launch attempt of its next-generation Starship vehicle.The Crew-6 astronauts — two Americans, a Russian and an astronaut from the United Arab Emirates — are scheduled to lift off from the Kennedy Space Center at 1:45 a.m.
In 2014, when NASA awarded contracts to Boeing and SpaceX to design and build spacecraft to fly NASA’s astronauts to the orbiting outpost, most in the aerospace community thought Boeing would fly first. But it hasn’t gone that way. Speaking to reporters late Saturday, Dana Weigel, NASA’s space station deputy program manager, said that “it’s still an ongoing assessment. They’re still taking a really close look at all the information they have on both spacecraft to try to understand if there’s any common cause or anything else that could have been a causal factor and having those two radiator panel leaks.”
“But above all, the priority is the crew flights and crew safety,” said Benji Reed, SpaceX’s senior director of human spaceflight programs. “And also meeting our obligations to ensure the crew rotation on the space station. That will always take precedence over any of the other flights.”
