SpaceX Crew-1

SpaceX Crew-1 was NASA's first operational Commercial Crew rotation mission to the International Space Station. Michael Hopkins commanded the flight, Victor Glover served as pilot, and Shannon Walker and JAXA astronaut Soichi Noguchi flew as mission specialists. The crew launched from Kennedy Space Center Launch Complex 39A on November 15, 2020 aboard Crew Dragon Resilience, docked with the station the next day, and joined the Expedition 64 and 65 crews for a long-duration research mission. Crew-1 returned on May 2, 2021, splashing down in the Gulf of Mexico off Panama City, Florida after 168 days in orbit.
