NASA announced four astronauts will launch to the International Space Station aboard a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket during the early hours of Halloween Day. The team will travel to the station in the SpaceX Crew Dragon capsule and spend six months on the orbiting laboratory conducting research. NASA and SpaceX had previously planned to launch Crew-1 in late September. The agency also said that pushing back the Crew-1 launch will allow 'for a crew handover' on board the space station. The six month timeline for Crew-1 means that capsule will be docked until late April, overlapping with the SpaceX Crew-2 mission set to launch in spring 2021.
