SpaceX Crew-5

SpaceX Crew-4 var uppdragsbeteckningen för en bemannad rymdfärd med en Dragon 2-rymdfarkost från SpaceX. Farkosten sköts upp med en Falcon 9-raket från Kennedy Space Center LC-39A den 27 april 2022. Flygningens destination var den Internationella rymdstationen (ISS).[2] Knappt ett dygn senare dockade farkosten med rymdstationen.

Flygningen transporterade Kjell N. Lindgren, Robert Hines, Samantha Cristoforetti och Jessica Watkins till och från rymdstationen.

Farkosten lämnade rymdstationen den 14 oktober 2022, några timmar senare återinträdde den i jordens atmosfär och landade i Mexikanska golfen.

This artist's concept shows a SpaceX Crew Dragon docking with the International Space Station as it will during a mission for NASA's Commercial Crew Program. NASA is partnering with Boeing and SpaceX to build a new generation of human-rated spacecraft capable of taking astronauts to the station and expanding research opportunities in orbit.

Backdropped by a blue and white Earth, this close-up view features the Soyuz TMA-6 spacecraft approaching the International Space Station (ISS). Onboard the spacecraft are cosmonaut Sergei K. Krikalev, Expedition 11 commander representing Russia's Federal Space Agency; astronaut John L. Phillips, NASA ISS science officer and flight engineer; and European Space Agency (ESA) astronaut Roberto Vittori of Italy. The Soyuz linked to the Pirs Docking Compartment at 9:20 p.m. (CDT) on April 16, 2005 as the two spacecraft flew over eastern Asia. The docking followed Friday’s launch from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan.

SpaceX Crew 4 logo.png
The insignia representing the SpaceX Crew-4 mission to the International Space Station depicts a dragonfly and highlights the crew members Commander Kjell Lindgren, Pilot Robert Hines and Mission Specialists Jessica Watkins and Samantha Cristoforetti. Lindgren, Hines and Watkins are NASA astronauts and Cristoforetti is an ESA (European Space Agency) astronaut.

Kjell Lindgren described the meaning behind the patch:

The free-flying Dragon capsule forms the thorax of the central element of the patch, the Dragonfly – a beautiful and agile flyer. For many, the dragonfly represents transformation and good fortune. On its way to the International Space Station, the capsule appears suspended in low Earth orbit with the Earth below and Moon above. Four bright stars represent the four crewmembers’ families and their steadfast patience, love and support. The remaining multitude of stars represent the countless members of the NASA, SpaceX and international partner teams, whose ingenuity, vigilance and tireless work has made this mission possible.
