SpaceX remains on target to launch its landmark Demo-2 mission to the space station this week, NASA officials said.

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) — The two astronauts who will end a nine-year launch drought for NASA arrived at Kennedy Space Center on Wednesday, exactly one week before their historic SpaceX flight.

It will be the first time a private company, rather than a national government, sends astronauts into orbit.

NASA test pilots Doug Hurley and Bob Behnken flew to Florida from their home base in Houston aboard one of the space agency’s jets.

From Kennedy Space Center’s launch complex on May 27, NASA and SpaceX will launch the first crewed flight into orbit from U.S. soil since 2011. NASA astronauts Bob Behnken and Doug Hurley and Douglas Hurley will fly on SpaceX’s Crew Dragon spacecraft, lifting off on a Falcon 9 rocket. SpaceX will be the first private company to launch astronauts to the International Space Station (ISS)

NASA’s human spaceflight chief Doug Loverro has stepped down just a week ahead of a historic SpaceX crew launch for the U.S. space agency.

Tune in live at 4 p.m. EDT, as NASA astronauts Douglas Hurley and Robert Behnken arrive at Kennedy Space Center to meet the SpaceX #CrewDragon spacecraft and Falcon 9 rocket that will launch them to the space station and into history.

SpaceX appears to have successfully fired up its fourth full-scale Starship prototype for the third time, although the Raptor engine test ended with the aft end of the ship catching fire and burning for quite some time.

Around May 7th, hours after Starship SN4 completed its second wet dress rehearsal and Raptor static fire in ~24 hours, SpaceX removed the SN18 Raptor engine it had used to support those tests, transporting it back to storage facilities a mile down the road. Three days later, SpaceX sent Raptor SN20 down the same same road and installed it on Starship SN4 – a swap made for unknown reasons.
