They arrived on a chartered plane rather than the traditional T-38s or NASA Gulfstream. <\/p>\n<p><span id=\"more-6180\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After delays over an engine issue causing an abort during the last GPS mission, which launched successfully just last week, NASA and SpaceX have started the week of preparations leading up to the first operational commercial crewed flight. The flight will start on Saturday, November 14, weather permitting, and will rendezvous with the International Space Station Sunday for a six-month stay.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Resilience will be crewed by Mike Hopkins, Victor Glover, Shannon Walker, and Sochi Noguchi. This will be Glover\u2019s first space flight, and he will serve as pilot for this mission. Hopkins will command this flight and, while in orbit, will be sworn in to the US Space Force, becoming the first Space Force astronaut. Veteran astronauts Walker and Noguchi will be mission specialists, both previously launching on Soyuz rockets to the station. Noguchi also launched on STS-114 on Discovery, which was the \u201cReturn To Flight\u201d after the Columbia Disaster.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\">\n<iframe id=\"twitter-widget-0\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"0\" allowtransparency=\"true\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" class=\"\" style=\"position: static; visibility: visible; width: 250px; height: 555px; display: block; flex-grow: 1;\" title=\"X Post\" src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/embed\/Tweet.html?creatorScreenName=SethKurk&amp;dnt=true&amp;embedId=twitter-widget-0&amp;features=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%3D%3D&amp;frame=false&amp;hideCard=false&amp;hideThread=false&amp;id=1325813662427181058&amp;lang=en&amp;origin=https%3A%2F%2Fspaceexplored.com%2F2020%2F11%2F09%2Fspacex-crew-1-crew-arrives-at-kennedy-space-center-ready-to-launch-on-resilience%2F&amp;sessionId=e53cc5b62455d21413aa7d417238b963a043a2e0&amp;siteScreenName=space_explored&amp;theme=light&amp;widgetsVersion=6a3ad42b224df%3A1778106238597&amp;width=500px\" data-tweet-id=\"1325813662427181058\"><\/iframe><script async=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><br \/>\n<\/figure>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIt feels really good to be here,\u201d Hopkins said during the press conference Sunday. \u201cFor the crew, we\u2019re ready.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>\t<span class=\"outbrain-ad-label\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p>\t\t<script type=\"text\/plain\">\n\t\t\twindow.adSlotsConfig = window.adSlotsConfig || [];<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\tadSlotsConfig.push( {\n\t\t\t\tslotID: '\/1049447\/Outbrain',\n\t\t\t\tslotName: 'div-gpt-ad-outbrain-ad-6180',\n\t\t\t\tsizes: [300, 250],\n\t\t\t\tslotPosition: 'mid_article'\n\t\t\t} );\n\t\t<\/script><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After training for the mission for the last several months, the crew has been able to spend time with family, hopefully starting a new tradition of eating a departure breakfast with their families.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s been a tough time.

They all were extremely excited about this launch, with Glover stating, \u201cit\u2019s really special today because we flew an airplane in here, but the plan is for us to leave on top of a rocket.

The storms current track has it making another landfall into the panhandle of Florida on Sunday. This has the chance to bring intense winds into the Brevard area come launch day. A big concern will be recovery weather since the Gulf of Mexico is used for an \u201cAbort Once Around\u201d maneuver where the capsule makes it to space but returns after one orbit. The 45th Space Wing will begin posting weather reports tomorrow or Wednesday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The four crewmates that will be flying on this week\u2019s crewed flight from Florida arrived Sunday at Kennedy Space Center\u2019s Launch and Landing Facility.
