    SpaceX Crew Dragon DM-2 to ISS [Doug Hurley]

    ISS Commercial Crew extended test flight

    Date: May 27
    Time: 1632 EDT (20:32 UTC)
    Pad: Kennedy Space Center LC-39A
    Booster: Falcon 9 B1058.1
    Vehicle: Crew Dragon
    Booster Recovery: yes
    Duration: about 110 days, extended from the original plan of a few days.

    About 1 month after DM-2 returns from ISS SpaceX will launch USCV-1 (US Crew Vehicle #1), the first fully operational Commercial Crew mission.

    They will continue flying USCV missions until Boeing's troubled Starliner gets its act together, which may be a while. There are only 2 more flightworthy Starliners, so another miscue would put Boeing in a real hurt.

      Point taken.

      Boeing really has put themselves into quite a pickle jar.

          SpaceX's next launch will have crew onboard. The Starlink launch is in fact now postponed until after Demo-2 due to not enough time to turnaround OCISLY.

          JRTI still has several weeks of trials ahead of it before it will be ready. https://twitter.com/SpaceXFleet/stat...56311539658756 …

          GO Quest is leaving Cape Fear and has set a destination of Cape Canaveral with an ETA of Tuesday 19th.

          The Starlink launch might be canceled. Rough seas are forecasted for the 19th and they cannot delay further without conflicting with DM-2 recovery.

          Wait for SpaceX to confirm.

          Yes, was counting operational launches in this tally. Still a chance of a Starship hop before Demo-2.
