SpaceX will run a series of automatic spacecraft manoeuvres during the Dragon's trip to the ISS, all managed from its mission control center in Hawthorne, California.
"Crew-4's launch, less than two days after the return of the first all-private mission to station, exemplifies the spirit and success of the Commercial Crew Program to help maximize use of low-Earth orbit for years to come, testing the technologies we need for the Artemis program and beyond," said Kathryn Lueders, associate administrator for NASA’s space operations mission directorate in Washington.
