Mission details:

• ISS exp.68/69.
• The sixth SpaceX operational mission in the Commercial Crew Program (CCP) was launched on 2 March 2023 and lasted approximately six months. The mission was scheduled to launch early on 27 February 2023. However, the initial attempt was scrubbed at T-02:12 minutes due to an issue with the TEA-TEB spontaneous ignition fluid (times are UTC).
• The second launch attempt was successful 2 March 2023 at 5:34 am UTC.
• Alongside Crew-6, the Dragon capsule is designed to be able to bring back the Soyuz MS-22 crew if necessary, serving as an emergency evacuation, as was Crew-5. Roscosmos elected to launch Soyuz MS-23 without a crew to return the MS-22 crew instead of using this capability.
