NASA's Crew-6 astronauts will launch to the International Space Station aboard the Crew Dragon Endeavour on a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket at Kennedy Space Center in Florida. Launch was originally targeted for 1:45 a.m. EST on Feb. 27, 2023, from Launch Complex 39A, but the launch was scrubbed. NASA and SpaceX teams are now targeting no earlier than Thursday, March 2, 2023, at 12:34am EST (0534 UTC) for the next launch attempt of the Crew-6 mission to the International Space Station.

Crew-6 is the sixth crew rotation mission with SpaceX to the station, and the seventh flight of Dragon with people as part of the agency’s Commercial Crew Program.
