NASA’s SpaceX Crew-8 flight crew just walked out of the double doors below the Neil A. Armstrong Building’s Astronaut Crew Quarters and made their way to the customized Tesla Model X cars that will take them to their spacecraft.
The Crew-8 mission will fly aboard SpaceX’s Dragon spacecraft. The spacecraft, named Endeavour, previously supported NASA’s Demo-2, Crew-2, and Crew-6, as well as Axiom Space’s Axiom Mission 1 flights to and from the International Space Station. As part of the refurbishment process, teams installed new components, including the heat shield, parachutes, Draco engines, and nosecone.
