The passenger list for SpaceX's first operational crewed mission is now complete. Since STS-114 was scheduled to be the next mission to fly following STS-107, its designation and crew were assigned as the "return to flight" mission, their flight remained relatively similar although new tasked needed to verify the changes made to the shuttle and the shuttle flight plan were added to the flight. Four astronauts — NASA's Mike Hopkins, Victor Glover, and Shannon Walker, and Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency astronaut Soichi Noguchi — are set to climb aboard SpaceX's Crew Dragon capsule on October 31, roar into space aboard a Falcon 9 rocket, then spend a six months aboard the International Space Station. He was assigned to technical support for the Japanese Experiment Module of the International Space Station. Once the program is complete, the agency will have doled out more than $8 billion in awards and contracts over about a decade. [10], During his first stay aboard the station, Noguchi performed three spacewalks, all three alongside Robinson. On 2 August 2015, Noguchi spoke to 33,628 fellow Scouts during the Arena Event at the 23rd World Scout Jamboree, held in Japan. Working with commercial partners, according to the agency, will allow the agency to ferry astronauts to and from the space station more frequently, giving it better access to the in-orbit scientific experiments and technology tests it will need to conduct in order to expand to the moon and Mars. [12], Following STS-114, Noguchi was assigned as a back up ISS Flight Engineer for JAXA astronaut Koichi Wakata, who became the first Japansese astronaut to live long duration aboard the space station. [23], In March 2020 he was assigned to SpaceX Crew-1,[24][25] which will be the first operational flight of a SpaceX Dragon 2 spacecraft. Soichi Noguchi was born in 1965 in Yokohama, Japan. [15], During Expedition 22, the crew were visited by Space Shuttle Endeavour during its penultimate flight, STS-130, which delivered the Node 3 module and the Cupola to the station, during this flight Noguchi was also in space with his former STS-114 crew mate Stephen Robinson, who was Mission Specialist on STS-130. Prior to docking to the station, Discovery and its crew performed the first-ever rendezvous pitch maneuver, which allowed the two crew members aboard the station to photograph and observe the shuttle's heat shield, allowing them to discover any possible damage on the spacecraft's heat shield, the maneuver was added following the Columbia disaster, which was caused by damage to the heat shield. Demo-2 is scheduled to launch in mid- to late May. Space is part of Future US Inc, an international media group and leading digital publisher. SpaceX and NASA are moving forward with their partnership, gearing up to regularly ferry astronauts to and from orbit in a new era of commercial human spaceflight.
