How to watch the Dragon’s trip live on SpaceX and NASA’s Crew-3 mission?
It is led by NASA astronaut Raja Chari, with other astronauts Tom Marshburn and Kayla Barron as pilot and mission specialists respectively. Matthias Maurer, an ESA astronaut, will also be on board, making him the 600th person to travel into space.
SpaceX successfully launched NASA’s Crew-3 mission, with four astronauts, late on November 10 in a private launch. An experienced explorer will join two young astronauts who have been selected for future lunar missions, and a German materials scientist will join them on the International Space Station when they lift out (ISS).

NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida launched a SpaceX-built launch vehicle, which included a Crew Dragon capsule and a two-stage Falcon 9 rocket, at around 9 p.m. (0200 GMT Thursday) with a reddish flare lighting up the night sky.
The live broadcast of the Dragon spacecraft’s liftoff from Cape Canaveral, Florida, was punctuated by the sound of mission controllers’ yells and applause.
This was the mission’s third postponement since it was scheduled to launch on October 31. NASA blamed an unidentified medical issue for a postponement earlier this month, although the issue was later remedied.
Immediately after liftoff, NASA broadcast live video of the four crew members sitting comfortably in their helmeted white-and-black flight suits inside the pressurised interior of their capsule.
It is led by NASA astronaut Raja Chari, with other astronauts Tom Marshburn and Kayla Barron as pilot and mission specialists respectively. Matthias Maurer, an ESA astronaut, will also be on board, making him the 600th person to travel into space.
As part of NASA’s forthcoming Artemis missions, which seek to return humans to the moon later this decade, Chari and Barron have been picked as part of the initial batch of 18 astronauts.
