Mission info

SpaceX Crew-11 is the eleventh operational crewed rotation mission of a Crew Dragon spacecraft to the International Space Station. The crew is composed of NASA astronauts commander Zena Cardman and pilot Mike Fincke, and mission specialists Kimiya Yui of Japan's JAXA and Oleg Platanov of Russia's Roscosmos.
