About the Crew-10 Mission

Mission details for Crew-10
TypeHuman Exploration
OrbitLow Earth Orbit
Launch Cost$52,000,000

SpaceX Crew-10 is the tenth crewed operational flight of a Crew Dragon spacecraft to the International Space Station as part of NASA's Commercial Crew Program.

This mission is part of NASA's Commercial Crew Program, a partnership with private companies like SpaceX to safely transport astronauts to and from the International Space Station. Using the SpaceX Crew Dragon spacecraft and Falcon 9 rocket, the program has restored American human spaceflight capability and enabled routine crewed missions to low Earth orbit.

Orbital Launch Attempts221
Total Launches281

The John F. Kennedy Space Center, located on Merritt Island, Florida, is one of NASA's ten field centers. Since 1968, KSC has been NASA's primary launch center of American spaceflight, research, and technology. Launch operations for the Apollo, Skylab and Space Shuttle programs were carried out from Kennedy Space Center Launch Complex 39 and managed by KSC. Located on the east coast of Florida, KSC is adjacent to Cape Canaveral Space Force Station (CCSFS).

Booster details for B1090
Serial NumberB1090
Last Flight03/17/2026

Falcon 9 booster. The Falcon 9 first stage B1090 has landed back at the launch site after its 2nd flight.

Landing Zone 1 - LZ-1

LZ-1 Pad located at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station at the previous LC-13.

Return to Launch Site - RTLS

A return to launch site usually means that after stage separation the booster flips and does a burn back towards the launch site, landing near where it initially launched from.

A sonic boom may occur during booster recovery as the first stage returns to the landing zone. This atmospheric phenomenon creates a loud sound as the rocket breaks the sound barrier during its descent.

About SpaceX

Space Exploration Technologies Corp., known as SpaceX, is an American aerospace manufacturer and space transport services company headquartered in Hawthorne, California. It was founded in 2002 by entrepreneur Elon Musk with the goal of reducing space transportation costs and enabling the colonization of Mars. SpaceX operates from many pads, on the East Coast of the US they operate from SLC-40 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station and historic LC-39A at Kennedy Space Center. They also operate from SLC-4E at Vandenberg Space Force Base, California, usually for polar launches. Another launch site is being developed at Boca Chica, Texas.
