About the Crew-14 Mission
| Type | Human Exploration |
|---|---|
| Orbit | Low Earth Orbit |
| Launch Cost | $52,000,000 |
SpaceX Crew-14 is the fourteenth 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.

Booster Landing & Recovery
The Falcon 9 first stage will land back at the launch site at Landing Zone 40 after its flight. The rocket booster serial number is currently unknown. Check back for updates on booster recovery details and landing information.
Landing Zone 40 - LZ-40
Landing Pad at SLC-40 for Falcon 9 boosters. Built as an replacement for LZ-1 & LZ-2.
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.
