SpaceX Crew-10 is planned to be the tenth operational NASA Commercial Crew Program flight and the 17th crewed orbital flight of a Crew Dragon spacecraft. The mission will transport four crew members – NASA astronauts Anne McClain and Nichole Ayers, JAXA astronaut Takuya Onishi, and Roscosmos cosmonaut Kirill Peskov – to the International Space Station (ISS).[3] The mission is planned to launch in March 2025.

Mission

[edit]

The tenth SpaceX operational mission in the Commercial Crew Program was initially scheduled for launch in February 2025.[6][7] This mission was to see the maiden flight of Crew Dragon C213, the fifth and potentially final Crew Dragon spacecraft.[8][9] The launch was ultimately postponed by one month to late March 2025 to allow SpaceX and NASA to complete final testing and integration of the new spacecraft.[10] However, because NASA believed that C213 will not be ready for its debut launch until late April, the mission was reassigned to Crew Dragon Endurance, allowing the launch date to be moved up to earlier in March.[1]
