Overview
Crew-2 is SpaceX's second operational flight of its Crew Dragon human spacecraft and the first reuse of a Crew Dragon capsule. This is the first flight of a European astronaut on Crew Dragon and the first time since 1965 that two US crew missions will be in space at the same time as the Crew-1 flight is still docked to the Space Station. Megan McArthur became only the fourth woman to pilot a US human space mission on this flight.

Crew Dragon
Crew Dragon is the first privately built and operated orbital spacecraft capable of flying humans. As a reusable SpaceX capsule, it transports crew members to and from the International Space Station. It will also carry paying customers to the Station and low Earth orbit. While it typically accommodates a crew of four, this number can vary depending on the mission.
