Crew-11 Countdown: Astronauts set to launch Thursday from Florida's Space Coast
NASA and SpaceX are set to launch another crewed space mission from Florida. SpaceX is preparing to launch Crew-11 from Kennedy Space Center on Thursday. Liftoff is scheduled for 12:09 p.m., with a backup launch opportunity on Friday. The Crew-11 mission plans to send four astronauts to the International Space Station. Crew-11 features Commander Zena Cardman, Pilot Michael Fincke, and Mission Specialists Kimiya Yui and Oleg Platonov. During their stay on the ISS, the crew will conduct research to prepare for human exploration beyond low-Earth orbit. Following stage separation, Falcon 9's first stage is expected to land at Landing Zone 1 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station. Click here to download our free news, weather and smart TV apps.

What time is SpaceX, NASA Crew-11 launch? How, when to watch on Netflix, Amazon Prime
The launch of four astronauts on a mission to the International Space Station known as Crew-11 will be the first NASA mission to stream on Netflix. The next rocket to launch on a mission transporting astronauts to space is coming to a streaming platform near you. Two major streaming services – Netflix and Amazon Prime – will provide NASA's coverage of a mission known as Crew-11 getting off the ground from Florida. While the U.S. space agency's live cosmic programming has been available on Prime since May, the upcoming mission marks the first launch with astronauts to be broadcast on Netflix – one of the largest streaming platforms in the world. The four astronauts selected for the Crew-11 mission, a joint venture between NASA and SpaceX, are due to travel to the International Space Station about 250 miles above Earth. At the orbital laboratory, the spacefarers will spend a few months performing scientific research designed to be carried out in microgravity. But the otherwise routine mission also bears a little more significance: The Crew-11 astronauts will replace the Crew-10 contingent who arrived in mid-March at the space station in a headline-grabbing spaceflight that set the stage to end the infamous Starliner saga. Here's what to know about the upcoming launch, as well as how to watch a livestream of the SpaceX rocket get off the ground from the Kennedy Space Center in Florida. Crew-11 launch: Remembering how departing Crew-10 astronauts set stage for 'stuck' Starliner crew to leave What is Crew-11? What to know about NASA, SpaceX mission As the name suggests, Crew-11 is NASA and SpaceX's 11th science expedition to the International Space Station. The missions, most of which last about six months, are contracted under NASA's commercial crew program. The program allows the U.S. space agency to pay SpaceX to launch and transport astronauts and cargo to orbit aboard the company's own vehicles, freeing up NASA to focus on its Artemis lunar program and other spaceflight missions, including future crewed voyages to Mars. The arrival of the astronauts selected for the Crew-11 mission at the space station will also pave the way for four others to leave. Their Crew-10 predecessors arrived at the ISS in mid-March in a headline-grabbing mission that set the stage for the long-awaited departure of Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams − the NASA astronauts who crewed the ill-fated Boeing Starliner space capsule. The Crew-10 astronauts – NASA astronauts Nichole Ayers and Anne McClain, Japanese JAXA astronaut Takuya Onishi and Roscosmos cosmonaut Kirill Peskov – will depart a few days after their replacements arrive to make a water landing off the coast of California. What time is the launch of Crew-11 mission from Florida? The Crew-11 mission is due to get off the ground no earlier than 12:09 p.m. ET Thursday, July 31, from near Cape Canaveral, Florida, according to NASA. SpaceX uses its Falcon 9 rocket – one of the most active in the world – to launch the crew missions from Launch Complex 39A at NASA's Kennedy Space Center. The astronauts themselves ride a Dragon crew capsule – the only U.S. spacecraft capable of carrying astronauts to and from the space station. The Falcon 9 accelerates to approximately 17,500 miles per hour after liftoff before the Dragon separates in orbit to use its own thrusters to power its way to the space station. NASA and SpaceX mission control will monitor a series of maneuvers guiding Dragon to the Earth-facing port of the station's Harmony module, where it is expected to dock autonomously around 3 a.m. ET Saturday, Aug. 2, according to NASA. How to watch livestream of Crew-11 launch on Netflix, Prime Viewers have plenty of ways to follow along with NASA's planned live coverage of both the Falcon 9 launch and Dragon's arrival at the space station. Launch coverage begins at 8 a.m. ET Thursday, July 31, on NASA+, the U.S. agency's free streaming platform. Content through NASA+ is available to watch on desktop from the agency's official site and YouTube channel, and can be downloaded as a mobile app on smartphones. NASA has also recently made all of the platform's content available on Amazon Prime and Netflix. NASA+ made its debut in May on Prime's live channels, available to users even without a subscription. But viewers will need a Netflix subscription to view NASA content on the popular platform, which boasts a global audience of 700 million people. Viewers should be able to find live NASA+ content in the Netflix interface alongside other popular series. A post-launch news conference is scheduled to take place at 1:30 p.m. ET and will be available only on NASA's YouTube channel. NASA+ coverage is scheduled to resume around 1 a.m. ET Saturday, Aug. 2, as the Dragon approaches and docks at the space station, followed by the hatch opening around 5:30 a.m. to allow the crew to enter the station and greet the other astronauts. Who are the astronauts on the Crew-11 mission? The Crew-11 mission includes four spacefarers: Eric Lagatta is the Space Connect reporter for the USA TODAY Network. Reach him at elagatta@

SpaceX needs good weather for Thursday's crewed launch. How's it looking?
SpaceX and NASA are now a short time away from launching four more astronauts to the International Space Station (ISS), with all eyes now on the weather to see if it's going to play ball. The mission team is currently targeting 12:09 p.m. ET on Thursday, July 31, for the liftoff from Launch Complex 39A (LC-39A) at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida. Recommended Videos At the moment, it's looking like the four Crew-11 astronauts will be able to get away on time, barring any last-minute technical hitch. According to the 45th Weather Squadron, which gives detailed assessments for air and space operations in the U.S., Thursday's mission from Kennedy has an 85% chance of happening on time. But that means there's also a 15% chance of a delay, which is down to a possible isolated shower or thunderstorm near the launch window, the 45th Weather Squadron said in its report. AccuWeather says it'll be partly cloudy and humid on Thursday. It's not just the mission team watching the weather, as many people are also planning to head to the Space Coast to see the first crewed launch since the Ax-4 flight on June 25. NASA and SpaceX are also livestreaming the launch on their various social channels, including X and YouTube. For full details on how to watch, Digital Trends has all you need to know. Crew-11 comprises NASA astronauts Zena Cardman and Mike Fincke, along with Japan's Kimiya Yui and Russia's Oleg Platonov. They'll spend about six months living and working on the space station as it orbits Earth at a speed of around 17,500 mph. Fincke, the most experienced member of the crew, said earlier this week: 'I'm personally looking forward to going back up to the space station — I helped build it and now I'm getting to see it in its full maturity.' The American astronaut first went to orbit in 2004, with his last mission taking place in 2011. Meanwhile, it'll be the first spaceflight for Cardman and Platonov, and the second for Yui.
