However, NASA TV and SpaceX's live coverage of the slight — which you can watch below — will continue on NASA TV through docking on Monday evening into Tuesday morning. SpaceX has secured its Crew Dragon spaceship to the top of a Falcon 9 rocket, and the launch system is ready to roar to life. On Sunday evening, the company is scheduled to send [an international crew](https://www.businessinsider.com/nasa-spacex-2nd-astronaut-rocket-crew-dragon-spaceship-launch-mission-2020-11) of four astronauts to the International Space Station aboard a [Crew Dragon spaceship](https://www.businessinsider.com/spacex-6-major-upgrades-to-spaceship-rocket-for-nasa-astronauts-2020-11). The mission, called Crew-1, will be SpaceX's first full-length mission for NASA — the first of six that Elon Musk's rocket company has contracted with the space agency. The launch will also mark the true start of NASA's commercial spaceflight program, a milestone nearly 10 years in the making. Although the launch was scheduled for Saturday, NASA officials [delayed it to Sunday](https://www.businessinsider.com/spacex-crew-1-nasa-astronaut-launch-delayed-wind-2020-11) at 7:27 p.m. ET due to issues with "onshore winds and first-stage booster recovery readiness," according to an agency [blog post](https://blogs.nasa.gov/commercialcrew/2020/11/13/launch-readiness-review-complete-prelaunch-news-conference-at-6-p-m-est/). The crew consists of NASA astronauts Mike Hopkins, Victor Glover, and Shannon Walker, as well as Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency astronaut Soichi Noguchi. Their Crew Dragon space capsule will launch from the Kennedy Space Center in Cape Canaveral, Florida. Because of the relative positions of the spaceship and space station, the one-day delay means that the astronauts' journey will now take 27 hours instead of eight-and-a-half. Once they dock to the ISS, the team is expected to stay there for six months. If they succeed, their mission will mark the longest human spaceflight ever launched from US soil. "We are ready for this launch. We are ready for the six months of work that is waiting for us on board the International Space Station, and we are ready for the return," NASA astronaut Mike Hopkins, who will command the mission, told reporters in a call on Monday. ## Watch the Crew-1 mission live If Sunday's weather doesn't delay the launch again, and everything goes smoothly during pre-launch checks, nine Merlin engines will lift the Falcon 9 rocket — with SpaceX's Crew Dragon spaceship on top — off the launch pad. Once the rocket's first-stage booster has burned most of its fuel, it will fall away and land on a drone ship. The rocket's second stage will continue on, helping propel the ship toward orbit and the ISS. NASA plans to broadcast the launch and docking live [via NASA TV](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E_FIaPBOJgc). You can watch the feed via the embedded YouTube video player above. You can also watch [SpaceX's stream](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bnChQbxLkkI) of the Crew-1 flight, which should replay after the launch attempt, below. The Crew Dragon is scheduled to dock with the ISS starting at about 11 p.m. ET on Monday. NASA TV plans to air live coverage of the docking attempt as well. ## 'The next era in human spaceflight' ![nasa astronauts commercial crew program august 2018 AP\_18215575643268](https://i.insider.com/5b64932f8ea82fb0108b4575?width=500&format=jpeg&auto=webp) Nine astronauts will fly the first four crewed missions inside SpaceX and Boeing's new spaceships for NASA, called Crew Dragon and CST-100 Starliner, respectively.

Prior to that mission, astronauts had not flown to space from US soil since 2011, when NASA ended its Space Shuttle program. In 2010, the agency began funding the Commercial Crew Program, a series of competitions between private companies meant to foster a new commercial spaceflight industry. The government has spent over \$6 billion on Commercial Crew since it began, according to [The Planetary Society](https://www.planetary.org/articles/nasas-commercial-crew-is-a-great-deal-for-the-agency), with the bulk of spending going toward Boeing, which plans to fly astronauts aboard its CST-100 Starliner spaceship for the first time in 2021. NASA Administrator Jim Bridenstine hailed Demo-2 as evidence of the Commercial Crew Program's success. "This is the next era in human spaceflight, where NASA gets to be the customer," Bridenstine said in August. This story has been updated with new information.
