SpaceX successfully launched Crew-11, its 11th operational astronaut mission for NASA, on August 1st. The Crew Dragon Endeavour spacecraft, carrying four astronauts from NASA, JAXA, and Roscosmos, launched from Kennedy Space Center. This mission marks a record sixth flight for the Endeavour and the final landing at LZ-1 for the Falcon 9 booster. The crew, including first-time spaceflyer Zena Cardman, will spend approximately six months on the ISS conducting various science experiments, overlapping with the Crew-10 crew for a smooth handover. NASA is considering extending the mission to eight months.
