The Demo-2 Crew Dragon was shipped from the SpaceX manufacturing factory in Hawthorne, California and arrived at the Florida Space Coast on Thursday, Feb. 13. The space capsule is now undergoing final testing and prelaunch processing in a SpaceX facility on nearby Cape Canaveral Air Force Station.
Barring unforeseen issues the Demo-2 mission will launch in the second quarter of 2020 – potentially as soon as May – thereby restoring America’s human spaceflight capabilities with the launch of US astronauts from US soil onboard a US rocket. The SpaceX Crew Dragon will launch atop a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket with NASA astronauts Bob Behnken and Doug Hurley from historic Launch Complex 39A from NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida.
