SpaceX’s Crew-9 mission successfully docked with the International Space Station (ISS) on September 29, 2024.

The mission featured NASA astronaut Colonel Nick Hague and Russian cosmonaut Aleksandr Gorbunov aboard the Crew Dragon capsule, Freedom.

Launching from Florida’s Cape Canaveral Space Force Station on September 28, the team completed their orbital journey, docking at 5:30 PM EDT. Notably, Hague is the first active U.S. Space Force member to reach space, marking a significant milestone for the mission.

The launch was the inaugural human spaceflight from Space Launch Complex-40 (SLC-40), adding a historical layer to the mission. The arrival of Hague and Gorbunov increased the total number of astronauts on the ISS to eleven. This mission stood out as NASA opted to streamline Crew-9 to just two members, accommodating the return needs of two other astronauts on the ISS.

Butch Wilmore and Sunita Williams, who had reached the ISS in June aboard the first crewed Boeing Starliner flight, faced an extended stay due to technical issues with the Starliner’s thrusters, although initially scheduled for just ten days.

The arrival of Crew-9 sets the stage for the imminent return of Crew-8 astronauts, including NASA’s Michael Barratt, Matthew Dominick, Jeanette Epps, and cosmonaut Alexander Grebenkin.

The four astronauts, who have been on the ISS since March, are scheduled to return to Earth shortly after Crew-9’s successful docking. Crew-9 is expected to stay aboard the ISS until February 2025, supporting ongoing research and operations if plans proceed without disruption.
