In an exciting development in the world of space exploration, NASA is set to relocate the SpaceX Dragon crew spacecraft from the International Space Station (ISS) to make way for Boeing’s Starliner spacecraft. The move, scheduled for Thursday, May 2, will be conducted by four crew members aboard the ISS.
NASA is planning to provide live coverage of the relocation starting at 7:30 a.m. EDT on various platforms. The astronauts and cosmonaut involved in the process will be working together to free up a docking port for the Boeing Starliner spacecraft with astronauts in May.
This will mark the fourth port relocation of a Dragon spacecraft with crew, showcasing the coordinated efforts between NASA and SpaceX. The relocation is part of NASA’s ongoing efforts to support commercial spaceflight and facilitate the smooth operation of missions to the ISS.
In addition to the relocation, NASA will also be providing details about the upcoming SpaceX Crew-8 mission and other activities planned at the space station. For media inquiries and more information, interested parties can contact NASA Headquarters in Washington or Johnson Space Center in Houston.
