Los Angeles CA (SPX) Oct 16, 2024

NASA, alongside partners Boeing and SpaceX, is advancing its plans for next year's International Space Station (ISS) missions as part of the agency's Commercial Crew Program. While preparatory efforts continue, NASA anticipates an active year of orbital operations with targeted mission timeframes, contingent on operational readiness and station scheduling.

Crew-10 Mission
The SpaceX Crew-10 mission is aiming for a launch no earlier than February 2025. This mission will see NASA astronauts Anne McClain and Nichole Ayers serve as commander and pilot, respectively. Joining them will be mission specialists, JAXA astronaut Takuya Onishi and Roscosmos cosmonaut Kirill Peskov. McClain and Onishi will be making their second spaceflights, while Ayers and Peskov will be on their first.

Crew-10 will follow the Crew-9 mission, which reached the ISS on September 29. Crew-9's return to Earth will include NASA astronauts Suni Williams and Butch Wilmore, alongside Nick Hague and Aleksandr Gorbunov, after a brief handover with Crew-10.

Crew-11 Mission
Scheduled for no earlier than July 2025, Crew-11 will be the second crew rotation flight of the year, taking into account ISS operations and resupply schedules. The four-member crew for this mission will be named at a future date.

Starliner Flight Planning
The next flight of Boeing's Starliner will be scheduled based on the progress toward system certification, which involves reviewing Crew Flight Test outcomes, final product approvals, and overall readiness. NASA is considering several potential timeframes for a Starliner mission in 2025.

Further updates will be provided as more information becomes available.
