The launch of Crew Dragon was initially scheduled for 31 October, however, it was postponed until 14 November because SpaceX’s Falcon 9 rocket engines were found to be defective during the launch of a new US GPS satellite.

The first joint crew rotation mission comprises NASA astronauts Michael Hopkins, Victor Glover and Shannon Walker, as well as Soichi Noguchi from the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency.
