Description:

  • SpaceX Crew-10 was the tenth operational NASA Commercial Crew Program flight and the 16th crewed orbital flight of a Crew Dragon spacecraft. The mission transported four crew members — NASA astronauts Anne McClain and Nichole Ayers, JAXA astronaut Takuya Onishi, and Roscosmos cosmonaut Kirill Peskov — to the International Space Station (ISS).

Mission details:

  • ISS exp.72/73.
  • The tenth SpaceX operational mission in the Commercial Crew Program was initially scheduled for launch in February 2025. This mission was to see the maiden flight of Crew Dragon Grace, the fifth and potentially final Crew Dragon spacecraft.[9][10] The launch was ultimately postponed by one month to late March 2025 to allow SpaceX and NASA to complete final testing and integration of the new spacecraft. However, because NASA believed that C213 would not be ready for its debut launch until late April, the mission was reassigned to Crew Dragon Endurance, allowing the launch date to be moved up to earlier in March.
  • The launch attempt on March 12, 2025 was scrubbed about 44 minutes before the planned liftoff time due to a suspected pocket of air trapped in the hydraulics on one of the clamps on the strongback that restrains and stabilizes the second stage of the Falcon 9 rocket while it stands vertically on the launch pad before launch.
  • The mission ended with a splashdown in the Pacific Ocean on August 9, 2025.
