SpaceX Demo-2 Dry Dress Rehearsal - Astronauts at Pad 39A
A Tesla with a tag that reads “ISSBND” is photographed at historic Launch Complex 39A during a dress rehearsal for launch at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida on May 23, 2020, ahead of the agency’s SpaceX Demo-2 mission to the International Space Station. The Tesla will take Demo-2 crew members Robert Behnken and Douglas Hurley from the Neil A. Armstrong Operations and Checkout Building to the launch pad on launch day. Demo-2 will serve as an end-to-end flight test of SpaceX’s crew transportation system, providing valuable data toward NASA certifying the system for regular, crewed missions to the orbiting laboratory under the agency’s Commercial Crew Program. Liftoff is targeted for 4:33 p.m. EDT on Wednesday, May 27.
