NASA’s SpaceX Crew-6 Feb. 27 Launch Attempt (Official NASA Broadcast in 4K)
Update: The Feb. 27 launch attempt was scrubbed so mission teams could investigate an issue preventing data from confirming a full load of the ignition source for the Falcon 9 rocket’s first stage Merlin engines. The next possible launch attempt is targeted for Thursday, March 2, at 12:34 a.m. EST (0534 UTC). More details: https://blogs.nasa.gov/crew-6/
Our #Crew6 mission to the International Space Station is targeted for liftoff at 1:45 a.m. EST (0645 UTC) on Monday, Feb. 27, 2023, from Launch Complex 39A at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida.
NASA astronauts Stephen Bowen and Warren “Woody” Hoburg, as well as UAE (United Arab Emirates) astronaut Sultan Alneyadi and Roscosmos cosmonaut Andrey Fedyaev, will launch aboard their Dragon Endeavour spacecraft atop a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket.

This will be the fourth trip to space for Bowen, the Crew-6 mission commander, and the first space launch for the rest of the crew. They’ll spend approximately six months on the station, helping us learn how to live in space while conducting research to make life better back on Earth.

Following launch and ascent, NASA coverage of agency’s Crew-6 flight to the space station will temporarily switch to a streaming, audio-only feed accessible via YouTube, between ascent and the beginning of rendezvous operations. Viewers can continue to listen to real-time audio between Crew-6 and flight controllers at NASA’s Mission Audio stream (https://www.youtube.com/live/3slokO2g1v0), which also includes conversations with astronauts aboard the space station and a live video feed from the orbiting laboratory. Full coverage on NASA TV will resume at 12:45 p.m. EST (1745 UTC) on Feb. 27.
