 SpaceX Crew-4 mission patch  (L-R) Hines, Cristoforetti, Watkins, and Lindgren | |
SpaceX Crew-4 will be the Crew Dragon’s fourth NASA Commercial Crew operational flight, and its seventh overall crewed orbital flight. The mission is planned for launch on 20 April 2022[1] and will transport four members of the crew to the International Space Station (ISS). As of November 2021[update], three NASA astronauts and one ESA astronaut have been assigned to the mission.[2][3] Crew-4 will use a new Crew Dragon spacecraft named "Freedom" chosen because it celebrates a fundamental human right, and the industry and innovation that emanate from the unencumbered human spirit.[4] The booster to be used on this mission will be B1067, and makes it the first commercial crew mission to use a booster on its fourth flight (it previously was used to launch SpaceX Crew-3).[5]
Crew
NASA astronauts Kjell Lindgren and Robert Hines were announced on 12 February 2021 to the crew.[2][3] Samantha Cristoforetti was named the commander of Expedition 68 on 28 May 2021.[6] Jessica Watkins was named Mission Specialist on 16 November 2021.[7]
