# Launch America

Launch America is a public–private partnership between the United States and multiple space companies, closely related to NASA's Commercial Crew Program. The term "Launch America" was used as early as May 2016. The initiative aims to end NASA's reliance on Roscosmos by developing launch systems that can carry crews to space from American soil.
The first space launch under the "Launch America" banner occurred at the Demo-2 mission on 30 May 2020, successfully taking two astronauts to the International Space Station. This marked both the first launch of astronauts by a wholly commercial provider mission in the world, as well as the first crewed space launch by the U.S. in a decade, and the first ever crewed space launch by SpaceX.

## Flights

| Mission and Patch | Capsule | Launch date | Landing date | Description | Crew | Outcome |
| Demo-2 | Crew Dragon Endeavour | 30 May 2020 | 2 August 2020 | First space launch under "Launch America" banner. This marked both the first launch of astronauts by a wholly commercial provider mission in the world, and the first crewed space launch by the U.S. in a decade, as well as being the first ever crewed space launch by SpaceX. | Douglas Hurley Robert Behnken | Success |
| SpaceX Crew-1 | Crew Dragon Resilience | 16 November 2020 | 2 May 2021 | First operational Commercial Crew flight, second overall crewed orbital flight of Crew Dragon, flying four astronauts to the ISS for a six-month mission. Roscosmos had not yet certified the Crew Dragon vehicle, so a third NASA astronaut was added instead of a Russian cosmonaut. Broke the record for the longest spaceflight by a U.S. crew vehicle, previously held by the Skylab 4 mission. All members of this flight were part of the Expedition 64 crew. | Michael Hopkins Victor Glover Soichi Noguchi Shannon Walker | Success |
| SpaceX Crew-2 | Crew Dragon Endeavour | 23 April 2021 | 9 November 2021 | Second operational Commercial Crew flight, third overall crewed orbital flight of Crew Dragon, transferring crew to the ISS for a six-month mission. NASA agreed to allow SpaceX to reuse a booster and capsule for the first time on this flight. It was the first NASA orbital flight to reuse a crewed vehicle since STS-135 in 2011. After spending almost 200 days in orbit, the Crew Dragon Endeavour set the record for the longest spaceflight by a U.S. crew vehicle previously set by her sibling Crew Dragon Resilience on May 2, 2021. All members of this flight were part of the Expedition 65 crew. | R. Shane Kimbrough K. Megan McArthur Akihiko Hoshide Thomas Pesquet | Success |
| SpaceX Crew-3 | Crew Dragon Endurance | 11 November 2021 | 6 May 2022 | Third operational Commercial Crew flight, fifth overall crewed flight of Crew Dragon, transporting four astronauts to the ISS for a six-month mission. All members of this flight were part of the Expedition 66 and Expedition 67 crews. | Raja Chari Thomas Marshburn Kayla Barron Matthias Maurer | Success |
| SpaceX Crew-4 | Crew Dragon Freedom | 27 April 2022 | 14 October 2022 | The fourth flight contracted under CCP contract and the seventh overall crewed flight of Crew Dragon. All members of this flight were part of the Expedition 67 and Expedition 68 crews. | Kjell Lindgren Bob Hines Samantha Cristoforetti Jessica Watkins | Success |
| SpaceX Crew-5 | Crew Dragon Endurance | 5 October 2022 | 18 March 2023 | The fifth flight contracted under CCP contract and the eighth overall crewed orbital flight of Crew Dragon. The fourth astronaut is Russian cosmonaut, Anna Kikina, flying on this mission as a part of Dragon–Soyuz swap flights that ensures both countries would have a presence on the station, and the ability to maintain their separate systems, if either Soyuz or commercial crew vehicles are grounded for an extended period. All members of this flight are part of the Expedition 68 and Expedition 69 crews. | Nicole Aunapu Mann Josh Cassada Koichi Wakata Anna Kikina | Success |
| SpaceX Crew-6 | Crew Dragon Endeavour | 2 March 2023 | 4 September 2023 | The sixth flight contracted under CCP contract. | Stephen Bowen Warren Hoburg Sultan Al Neyadi Andrey Fedyaev | Success |
| SpaceX Crew-7 | Crew Dragon Endurance | 26 August 2023 | 12 March 2024 | In late 2021, NASA contracted SpaceX for three more Commercial Crew Flights starting from Crew-7. | Jasmin Moghbeli Andreas Mogensen Satoshi Furukawa Konstantin Borisov | Success |
| SpaceX Crew-8 | Crew Dragon Endeavour | 4 March 2024 | 25 October 2024 | In late 2021, NASA contracted SpaceX for three more Commercial Crew Flights starting from Crew-7. | Matthew Dominick Michael Barratt Jeanette Epps Alexander Grebenkin | Success |
| Boeing Crew Flight Test (patch) | Starliner Calypso | 5 June 2024 | 7 September 2024 | The first crewed mission of Boeing Starliner. Landed uncrewed due to malfunctioning thrusters. | Barry Eugene Wilmore Sunita Williams | Partial failure |
| SpaceX Crew-9 | Crew Dragon Freedom | 28 September 2024 | 19 March 2025 | The ninth flight contracted under CCP contract and the fifteenth overall crewed flight of Crew Dragon. All members of this flight were part of the Expedition 72 crew. | Nick Hague Aleksandr Gorbunov | Docked to the ISS |
