The first crewed orbital launch from the United States in nearly nine years took place May
30, placing a SpaceX Crew Dragon spacecraft with two NASA astronauts on board into
orbit, bound for the International Space Station. A Falcon 9 rocket lifted off from Launch
Complex 39A at the Kennedy Space Center. The Crew Dragon spacecraft atop the rocket’s
upper stage separated 12 minutes later after achieving low Earth orbit.
