Upcoming Launch: Crew-10 Mission
SpaceX ^ | March 13, 2025 | editors / unattributed

Posted on 03/13/2025 7:58:54 PM PDT by SunkenCiv

SpaceX and NASA are targeting no earlier than Friday, March 14 for Falcon 9's launch of Dragon’s 10th operational human spaceflight mission (Crew-10) to the International Space Station from Launch Complex 39A (LC-39A) at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida. Launch is targeted for 7:03 p.m. ET, with a backup opportunity available on Saturday, March 15 at 6:41 p.m. ET.

SpaceX's live webcast of this mission will begin about one hour and 20 minutes prior to liftoff, which you can watch here and on X @SpaceX. You can also watch the webcast on the new X TV app.

The Dragon spacecraft supporting this mission previously flew NASA’s Crew-3, Crew-5, and Crew-7 missions to and from the space station. This will be the second flight for the first stage booster supporting this mission, which previously launched the SES 03b mPOWER-e mission. Following stage separation, Falcon 9's first stage will land on Landing Zone 1 (LZ-1) at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station.

During their time on the orbiting laboratory, the crew will conduct new research to prepare for human exploration beyond low-Earth orbit and to benefit humanity on Earth.

Nifty, the booster sitting on the launch site is smudged and grubby from previous use. It looks like used space ship found in a sales lot on Mos Eisley. We are past the time when every launch was PR perfect, we are in the time of corporate space travel.

That said, I am sure they have thoroughly checked it for problems.

"We are past the time when every launch was PR perfect, we are in the time of corporate space travel."

The best PR is success!

Kinda wish it were going up later. Twilight launches are spectacular!
