NASAs SpaceX Crew-11 – arrival and welcome remarks

After lifting off from NASA’s Kennedy Space Center on Thursday, July 31, the crew members of NASA’s SpaceX Crew-11 mission arrived at the International Space Station.

SpaceX’s Dragon spacecraft carried NASA astronauts Zena Cardman and Mike Fincke, JAXA (Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency) astronaut Kimiya Yui, and Roscosmos cosmonaut Oleg Platonov to the orbiting laboratory for a science mission.

This the 11th crew rotation mission and the 12th human spaceflight mission for NASA to the space station supported by the Dragon spacecraft since 2020 as part of the agency’s Commercial Crew Program.

Crew-11 scheduled arrived at the station on Saturday, Aug. 2.

Cardman, Fincke, Yui, and Platonov will spend several months on the station, conducting research to help humans learn how to live in space while making life better on Earth. After Crew-11 arrives at the station, the four members of Crew-10 will depart the station following a brief handover period.
