SpaceX and NASA launched the sixth operational human spaceflight mission (Crew-6) to the International Space Station from Launch Complex 39A at Kennedy Space Center at 12:34 a.m. on 2 March 2023. The Dragon spacecraft supporting this mission previously flew Demo-2, Crew-2, and Axiom Space’s Ax-1 to and from the space station. Following stage separation, Falcon 9’s first stage landed on the Just Read the Instructions droneship stationed in the Atlantic Ocean.

During their time on the orbiting laboratory, the crew will conduct over 200 science experiments and technology demonstrations in areas such as life and physical sciences to advanced materials, technology development, in-space production applications, and even student-led research.
