Innovation Spacecrafts
NASA, Boeing and SpaceX Vehicle Tests and Crewed Flights
2019 is shaping up to be a very exciting year for space exploration. A couple of key tests and crewed flights of highly advanced spacecrafts. In January, SpaceX is scheduled to launch its Dragon 2 spacecraft on its first test flight. There won't be any crew onboard until the summer when the spacecraft will ferry two US astronauts to the ISS (International Space Station). This will be the first launch of US astronauts from US soil since July 2011. The launch will be made from Cape Canaveral, FL. It's a NASA and SpaceX exciting and new innovation mission into space.
Starliner
Boeing is going to conduct an un-crewed test flight of its CST-100 Starliner in March. The first manned flight will happen in August. This spacecraft has been designed in conjunction with NASA for low Earth orbits to accommodate 7 passengers or for a mix of crew and cargo.
Starship
In April, CEO Elon Musk says SpaceX will perform a test flight of Starship. That is their spacecraft intended to take humans to Mars. Space seems to be getting closer every day. For more news blogs on innovation, go to amazon.com/author/ekane
