Bob and Doug were part of the first launch of the Commercial Crew program in May when their historic Demo-2 mission headed to the International Space Station. It was celebrated as a return to American soil as the first manned spacecraft since the Space Shuttle to launch from 39A at Kennedy Space Center. It was also significant as the program is a collaboration and the spacecraft was from a commercial company. Crew - 1 is the next Commercial Crew launch. Four astronauts (Shannon Walker, Victor Glover, Mike Hopkins and Soichi Noguchi) will be traveling to the International Space Station aboard a SpaceX Crew Dragon spacecraft on a Falcon 9 rocket. This event is currently scheduled for October 23, 2020. However, like the previous mission, this date is fluid and can change based on numerous things including weather. This year, we celebrate 20 years of continuous human presence on the International Space Station! The goal is to connect space station research to K - 12 classrooms. Each month has a theme and includes related multimedia, infographics, videos and activities.
