SpaceX has passed its test, Crew Dragon was a success. Now the path is clear for future missions taking astronauts to the International Space Station. Two more are scheduled, and four more will follow.
Crew 1 will launch late in September. It will take three Americans and one Japanese to the ISS where they'll stay for six months doing science experiments, space walks, and station maintenance.
Crew 2 is planned for next spring. Two Americans, one Japanese, and one European space agency astronaut will fly to the ISS. The American astronaut pilot of Mission Crew 2, Megan McArthur, is the wife of Bob Behnken who just returned on Sunday from the ISS.
