NASA and SpaceX officials provided the first detailed briefings on Crew-11, the next commercial crew rotation flight to the International Space Station (ISS). Speaking from Johnson Space Center on Thursday, agency leaders confirmed that the four-person mission is now slated to launch no earlier than 31 July from Launch Complex 39A at Kennedy Space Center, with liftoff targeted for around noon Eastern time. Crew-11 will carry four astronauts—three from NASA and one international partner—for a roughly six-month stay on the orbital laboratory. The briefing covered final training milestones, spacecraft readiness and upcoming integrated dress rehearsals. Officials said all major systems on the Falcon 9 rocket and Crew Dragon capsule have cleared flight reviews, and the team will enter standard pre-launch quarantine later this month. If the schedule holds, Crew-11 will mark SpaceX’s 11th operational crewed flight for NASA under the Commercial Crew Program and continue the uninterrupted U.S. capability to ferry astronauts to and from the ISS.
