Demo-2 will serve as an end-to-end flight test of SpaceX’s crew transportation system, providing valuable data toward NASA certifying the system for regular, crewed missions to the orbiting laboratory under the agency’s Commercial Crew Program.

The launch of the SpaceX Crew Dragon carrying two NASA astronauts Bob Behnken and Doug Hurley to the International Space Station will take place at Kennedy Space Center on Saturday, May 30 at 3:22 p.m. (EDT).

This is the first launch since 2011 of American astronauts on U.S. Soil. Bad weather delayed the launch on Wednesday, and if the launch doesn’t move forward on Saturday, the next date scheduled is Sunday at 3 p.m. (EDT.)
