SpaceX Will Launch Two Astronauts to ISS Tomorrow, Here's Where You Can Watch

After years of hard work and consistent efforts, Elon Musk’s company SpaceX is finally ready to launch the historic Demo-2. In its first crewed mission to space, the company will launch two NASA astronauts – Robert Behnken and Douglas Hurley.

The astronauts will be flying to the International Space Station (ISS) in America’s first manned spaceflight in around a decade. US’s last manned mission to space was launched in 2011 and the country has depended on Russia ever since to take astronauts into space.

Ahead of the official launch, the company has conducted checks on Falcon 9 and Crew Dragon to ensure everything is in place for the Demo-2 launch.

The Crew Dragon will be launched from NASA’s Kennedy Space Center based in Florida. The first launch window will open at 2.03 am IST on Thursday, May 28. If the first launch window fails, the backup opportunities will fall on Sunday, May 31 at 12:52 am IST, and on Monday, June 1 at 12.30 am IST.

The launch can be live-streamed on NASA TV, which will begin at 9:45 pm IST on Wednesday.

You can keep an eye on NASA’s YouTube channel for live streaming of the historic manned space mission of the United States.
