# NASA’s SpaceX Demo-2 Astronauts Board Crew Dragon for Flight to Space Station lV1ShI5eZBI

Astronauts Douglas Hurley and Robert Behnken board the SpaceX Crew Dragon spacecraft at Launch Complex 39A at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida in preparation for launch on the Demo-2 mission to the International Space Station. Launch atop the SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket was scheduled for today, May 27, 2020. Demo-2 will mark the first launch of astronauts from U.S. soil since the conclusion of the Space Shuttle Program in 2011. Part of the agency’s Commercial Crew Program, this will be SpaceX’s final flight test, paving the way for NASA to certify the crew transportation system for regular, crewed flights to the orbiting laboratory. NOTE: NASA and SpaceX have scrubbed today's launch attempt of the Demo-2 test flight to the space station due to unfavorable weather. The next launch attempt will be at 3:22 p.m. EDT on Saturday, May 30.
