SpaceX Crew-3 Dry Dress Rehearsal

NASA’s SpaceX Crew-3 astronauts participate in a countdown dress rehearsal at the agency’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida on Oct. 28, 2021, to prepare for the upcoming Crew-3 launch. The astronauts are at the Neil Armstrong Operations and Checkout Building as they prepare to enter the Tesla cars for the trip to Launch Pad 39A during the rehearsal. In view is European Space Agency astronaut Matthias Maurer. The four-person crew will launch aboard the Crew Dragon atop the Falcon 9 on Oct. 31 to the International Space Station. Launch is targeted for 2:21 a.m. EDT from Pad 39A. Crew-3 is the third crew rotation flight to the space station for NASA’s Commercial Crew Program, and the first flight of a new Crew Dragon spacecraft.
