- Crew Dragon Endeavour launched on a Falcon 9 from Launch Complex 39A on May 30, 2020, docked to the International Space Station on May 31, and carried Douglas Hurley and Robert Behnken as Expedition 63 crew members. The flight validated Crew Dragon launch, rendezvous, docking, on-orbit, undocking, reentry, splashdown, and recovery operations for NASA and SpaceX. Behnken completed four station EVAs during the docked phase, with Hurley supporting spacewalk operations from inside the station. The spacecraft undocked on August 1 and splashed down in the Gulf of Mexico off Pensacola, Florida, on August 2, completing the final crewed test flight before operational Crew Dragon service.
