Earlier today, NASA astronauts Douglas Hurley and Robert Behnken arrived at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida to make final preparations for their historic launch to the International Space Station (ISS) hopefully 7 days from now. The Demo-2 crew members made opening remarks at the Launch and Landing Facility (LLF) after a flight from their home base at the Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas.

A few miles from the LLF, final preps are also being made on SpaceX's Falcon 9 rocket and Crew Dragon capsule that will send Hurley and Behnken on their way to the ISS. As shown in the pics above and below, the Crew Dragon was transported to SpaceX's Horizontal Integration Facility a few days ago and is now attached to the Falcon 9. The stacked vehicle will be rolled out to Launch Complex 39A tonight to be readied for a static fire on Friday. A Flight Readiness Review between NASA and SpaceX officials to solidify next Wednesday's launch date will be held tomorrow. Stay tuned!
