The first manned mission of space exploration technology company's manned dragon spacecraft is expected to be carried out in the second quarter of this year.

Look at Zhuang Sheng's drums and pots. Carefree is my teacher. Free and unrestrained, Xiao Bian from deep space is flying around the sky to tell you the news. It's a nice day today, so it's suitable for reading the latest information and relaxing. Let's get to know each other.

According to foreign media TechCrunch, Space Exploration Technology and NASA held a press conference to discuss the mission and follow-up plans after successfully testing the launch suspension system of manned dragon spacecraft on Sunday. The first question asked by the media attending the meeting is what this experiment means to the mission plan of actually transporting astronauts. Elon musk, CEO of Space Exploration Technology Company, gave the answer and outlined the overall schedule of the event.

He said: "We believe that the hardware needed for the first manned launch will be ready by the end of February. But once the hardware is ready, all the contents need to be cross-checked, triple-checked, quadrupled-checked, and there is still a lot of work to be done to check all the contents again. Then there is the timetable for arriving at the International Space Station, because there are still many things to do to go to the International Space Station. So when is the right time? The collective wisdom at this time is that we believe that the hardware will be ready in the first quarter, possibly in February, but no later than March. We believe that the first manned launch is likely to take place in the second quarter. "

Jim Braddon Sting, director of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), put forward further views from the perspective of the agency, and pointed out that some parameters of the first manned mission may change, thus changing the actual flight time.

Braddon Sting said: "I think this is a very fair assessment. I also want to point out that we must make some decisions from the perspective of NASA. Do we want the first manned mission to be short or long? If it lasts longer, then we must give astronauts some extra training so that they are really ready to do what we don't want the original testers to do on the International Space Station. "

Bladen Sting added that these decisions will be made "in the next few weeks" and depend on whether they choose the first manned mission as a quick trip or a longer-term mission to carry out more goals, so the mission time may change due to the astronauts' planning and training requirements.
