The Crew-11 mission will include four crew members from NASA, JAXA, and Roscosmos: Zena Cardman, Mike Fincke, Kimiya Yui, and Oleg Platonov. They will travel aboard SpaceX’s Dragon spacecraft, launching from Falcon 9’s Launch Complex 39A. A 12 p.m. EDT overview briefing will feature NASA and SpaceX mission leadership, followed by a 2 p.m. crew news conference and 3 p.m. individual interview opportunities. All briefings will stream live on NASA’s YouTube channel.
Media interested in attending in person must notify NASA’s Johnson Space Center by July 7 at 5 p.m., while remote participants must confirm by 9:45 a.m. on the day of the event. Virtual interview requests with crew members are also due by July 7 at 5 p.m. These briefings serve as the final public interaction with the astronauts before their departure for the launch site.

In a time where local news media coverage seems to be disappearing, your contribution is more important than ever. While our in-depth articles are for supporting members only, we won’t put our core news content behind a paywall, because we believe access to news should be democratized, instead of access for only those who can afford it.
But keeping the lights on and taking the fight to local accountability takes resources. Your monthly subscription directly funds our public records requests, website hosting, and time spent analyzing local government and events so you don’t have to.
We are the only newsroom in Washington County with facts-first focus, locally owned, independent, while keeping our core news content free. Will you help us keep it that way?
The mission marks the first spaceflight for both Zena Cardman, a Virginia native with a background in geobiology, and Oleg Platonov, a Roscosmos cosmonaut with engineering and military aviation experience. Veteran astronaut Mike Fincke returns for his fourth mission, while Kimiya Yui, representing JAXA, will make his second visit to the orbiting laboratory. Once aboard the ISS, the team will contribute to a range of scientific experiments and international cooperation in space operations.
NASA continues to emphasize the importance of public engagement and transparency in its Commercial Crew Program as it expands international collaboration in space exploration. Updates about the mission and coverage plans can be found on the agency’s official website.
