NASA appointed an astronaut to put the first commercial capsule in orbit next year and brought human emissions back to the United States.
SpaceX and Boeing are preparing to test the flight to the International Space Station by the end of this year or early next year.
Astronaut assigned to the first flight gathered at the Houston-Johnson Space Center on Friday
Currently Boeing's employee, Chris Ferguson, is a former NASA astronaut who ordered the last Space Shuttle in 2011.
Nicole Aunapu Man will be the first space flight after being selected as a NASA astronaut in 2013
Congratulations @ Astro_Ferg And the team is Commercial Crew Astronaut! You can now move the solar system freely. What? pic.twitter.com/A7TWX272hK
NASA said that after the unattended test in November 2018, SpaceX's Crew Dragon will be released for the first time in April 2019.
Let's meet the top four @ NASA astronauts who are planning to fly to the @ Space_Station at Crew Dragon! https://t.co/9JZLWOPSK0 pic.twitter.com/mNYa1PjKwU
After the test flight at the end of 2018 or early 2019, the astronaut will be flying the Boeing CST - 100 star liner for the first time in mid - 2019.
During the crew's testing, the astronauts will be able to see the display inside the spacecraft during flight, communicate with the mission control, and can be controlled manually. Before the crew returns to the Earth, the spacecraft automatically docks and automatically leaves the space station.
NASA also unveiled the first long-distance space station mission for Starliner and Crew Dragon's first astronaut.
Josh Cassada will be the first astronaut to be elected as a NASA astronaut in 2013.
Sunita Williams was a NASA astronaut who led the space station and spent 322 days there.
NASA's astronaut, Michael Hopkins, spent 166 days at the space station and did two space exploration.
Greetings from all of our nine @ Commercial_Crew astronauts! Learn more about their mission about @ BoeingSpace and @ SpaceX spacecraft, and how this has come back to the United States since 2011.
Since NASA retired its Space Shuttle Fleet in 2011, astronauts in the U.S. are carrying Russian space capsules to the space station.
Boeing and SpaceX are two companies that joined the International Space Station in cooperation with NASA. Commercial crew is scheduled to start a few years ago, Boeing designed a new concept car SpaceX reuses existing dragon capsules. SpaceX is currently planning to conduct the first orbit test of the manned dragon cabin in the beginning of 2018 (no passengers). The first manned mission may be held in May 2018, but that day fell several times. I hope that these new space suit are ready to be in time.
SpaceX is known for its spacecraft - from supply of space station dragon capsule to interplanetary transportation system proposed. However, this is a more traditional ship of the company that can maintain a lofty dream of affordable space flight. Let's take a closer look at the SpaceX non-spaceship. The first landing of SpaceX in 2015 took place in the landing area of Cape Canaveral, but SpaceX still hopes to let the rocket landing quietly (and quickly recover) to a floating platform on the sea. The price is high, and the ocean is so. Majority. SpaceX safely landed on Falcon 9 rocket on 8th April 2016. I still love you on the Atlantic route.
Elon Musk recently announced that SpaceX will send us to Mars, so a new space race began. It would be interesting to see who first landed on the red planet. Boeing CEO Dennis Mullenberg said, "People who first step on Mars will arrive at the Boeing rocket." There are millionaires who are trying to build mankind on Mars, private companies, and groups of government agencies. We live in a very extraordinary era! Putting humans on Mars will be a big achievement. This will require a lot of money and human intelligence. There will be people who ask us why we should do this work first. The reason why we have to go to Mars is an important issue to consider as it is as important as the way we get there.
