Crew - 3

#1
Yazata Online
Scheduled to launch on the night of Holloween, October 31. (Actually early morning the next day in most time zones.) 11:21 PM PDT, 2:21 AM EDT and 6:21 AM UTC. They don't get much choice when to launch since they only have an instantaneous window when the space station is in the right spot for a launch from Cape Canaveral to catch it as it passes overhead. The station is moving approx. 17,000 miles an hour, so that's something like 4.7 miles / 7.5 km every second. They either launch on-time or else have to recycle to the next available launch window.

It will carry 4 astronauts to the Space Station, 3 from nasa and 1 from the European space agency (a German).

Booster is B1067 on its second flight. Its first was a supply flight to the Station in June. Capsule is named Endurance and is new, on its first flight.

Recovery will be on JRTI out in the Atlantic, accompanied by Doug, the new SpaceX support ship and tug Finn Falgout.

Crew 3 has been pushed back again, to 11:36 PM EDT, 8:36 PM PDT on Saturday 11-6-21.

Reason given was a "minor medical problem" with one of the astronauts. (It isn't covid related.)
