Update 10:00 a.m.: This mission marks the first spaceflight of NASA astronaut Zena Cardman. Cardman was originally scheduled to fly in 2024 as part of Crew-9, but was reassigned to allow room on the Crew-9 SpaceX Dragon for the return of Starliner Flight Test astronauts Butch Wilmore and Sunita Williams. Wilmore and Williams were assigned to serve as part of Crew-9 after their Starliner spacecraft malfunctioned during its June 2024 flight test -- a mission which, had it been successful, would have certified the spacecraft to ferry NASA astronauts alongside SpaceX's Dragon. In another turn of events, Fincke and Yui were previously scheduled to fly on the first Starliner crew rotation mission. According to a July NASA press briefing, Boeing’s Starliner may fly again as soon as next year. It is undecided if that mission will be crewed or uncrewed. The Starliner is aimed to serve NASA’s Commercial Crew Program alongside SpaceX’s Crew Dragon. SpaceX Dragon Endeavour and Space Shuttle Endeavour Update 9:48 a.m.: NASA astronaut Mike Fincke last visited the ISS on the final flight of Space Shuttle Endeavour. In a turn of events, he is flying back to the ISS onboard another Endeavour – Crew Dragon Endeavour. Crew Dragon Endeavour is seeing its sixth mission. It was the first SpaceX Dragon to launch humans to orbit in 2020 with the Demo-2 mission. Demo-2 was also the first flight of the Commercial Crew Program. NASA astronauts Bob Behnken and Doug Hurley flew to the ISS on the Demo-2 mission, certifying the SpaceX spacecraft to transport NASA astronauts.
