Following the launch readiness review Friday, NASA and SpaceX teams continue to target a launch Sunday, Nov. 15 at 7:27 p.m. EST of NASA astronauts Michael Hopkins, Victor Glover, and Shannon Walker, and astronaut Soichi Noguchi of the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) on the Crew-1 mission to theInternational Space Station.
 
A lift off Sunday would set the Crew Dragon on track to arrive to the orbiting laboratory on Monday, Nov. 16 at 11 p.m. NASA TV will provide more than 30 hours of continuous coverage beginning at 3:15 p.m. Sunday through the hatch opening and welcoming ceremony in the early hours of Tuesday, Nov. 17.
 
The U.S. Air Force 45th Weather Squadron predicts a 50% chance of favorable weather conditions at the launch pad for lift off of NASA's SpaceX Crew-1 missionbased on Falcon 9 Crew Dragon launch weather criteria. Teams will monitor weather conditions both for the launch area and downrange. The primary weather concerns for launch will be cumulus clouds and associated precipitation, along with electric fields from any more robust showers.

NASA and SpaceX are now targeting 7:27 p.m. EST Sunday, Nov. 15, for liftoff of the agency's SpaceX Crew-1 mission to fly astronauts from Launch Complex 39A at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida to the International Space Station.

Teams moved the launch by one day because of onshore winds and to enable recovery of the first stage booster, which is planned to be reused to launch the Crew-2 mission next year. The booster is expected to land on the recovery ship about nine minutes after launch.

NASA will provide continuous coverage - more than 30 hours - of the prelaunch, launch, docking and arrival activities for the first crew rotation flight of the SpaceX Crew Dragon spacecraft on a Falcon 9 rocket following certification by NASA for regular flights to the space station as part of the agency's Commercial Crew Program.

The Crew Dragon is scheduled to dock to the space station around 11 p.m. Monday, Nov. 16. Launch, prelaunch activities, and docking will air live on NASA Television and the agency's website.

The Crew-1 flight will carry Crew Dragon Commander Michael Hopkins, Pilot Victor Glover, and Mission Specialist Shannon Walker, all of NASA, along with Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) Mission Specialist Soichi Noguchi, to the space station for a six-month science mission.

Американский пилотируемый корабль Crew Dragon стартует к МКС - NASA
15.11.2020 1:29:51

Вашингтон. 15 ноября. ИНТЕРФАКС - Новейший американский пилотируемый космический корабль Crew Dragon компании SpaceX, в воскресенье, когда уже наступит понедельник по московскому времени, стартует к Международной космической станции (МКС) в рамках первого регулярного полета, сообщает NASA.

Запуск миссии Crew Dragon-1 с астронавтами на борту планируется осуществить 15 ноября в 19:27 по времени Восточного побережья США (16 ноября в 03:27 мск) со стартового комплекса 39А на космодроме на мысе Канаверал во Флориде с помощью ракеты-носителя Falcon 9 компании SpaceX. В состав его экипажа входят астронавты NASA Майкл Хопкинс, Виктор Гловер, Шеннон Уокер и астронавт Японского агентства аэрокосмических исследований JAXA Соичи Ногучи. Их миссия на МКС должна продлиться шесть месяцев

Первоначально запуск предполагалось совершить еще 14 ноября по американскому времени, однако в связи с неблагоприятными погодными условиями для посадки первой многоразовой ступени ракеты Falcon 9 из-за сильного ветра он был перенесен на сутки.

Между тем, в настоящее время метеопрогноз лишь на 50% благоприятствует проведению пуска воскресенье.

Запуск первого регулярного полета Crew Dragon-1 проводится в рамках коммерческой программы пилотируемых полетов NASA. Через примерно девять минут после старта первая многоразовая ступень ракеты-носителя должна будет совершить вертикальную посадку на автоматическую плавучую платформу, которая будет находиться в Атлантике в 536 км от космодрома.

Пилотируемый корабль должен будет состыковаться со станцией на следующий день после запуска. Астронавты присоединятся к членам 64-й длительной экспедиции на МКС в составе командира станции космонавта Роскосмоса Сергея Рыжикова, космонавта Сергея Кудь-Сверчкова и астронавта NASA Кэтлин Рубинс.
