SpaceX Crew-1 (also known as USCV-1 or simply Crew-1) was a spaceflight in 2021 and 2022. It was the first crewed operational flight of a Crew Dragon spacecraft.
The Crew Dragon spacecraft Resilience was expected to launch on October 31, 2020, on a Falcon 9 from the Kennedy Space Center, LC-39A. The launch was postponed due to bad weather and was eventually launched on November 15.
It carried NASA astronauts Michael Hopkins, Victor Glover and Shannon Walker along with JAXA astronaut Soichi Noguchi, all members of the Expedition 64 crew. The mission is the second overall crewed orbital flight of the Crew Dragon, pending the certification of the vehicle.
