Endeavour crew (L-R): Douglas Hurley, Robert Behnken
SpaceX Crew Dragon Demo-2 (Endeavour), launched May 30, 2020, was the first crewed orbital spaceflight launched from the US since the end of the Space Shuttle project in 2011. Its crew consisted of Douglas Hurley and Robert Behnken, both veterans of the space shuttle program. Nineteen hours after launch, Endeavour docked with the International Space Station.
Behnken and Hurley worked with Expedition 63, and Behnken conducted four EVAs with fellow astronaut Chris Cassidy. After sixty-two days, Endeavour undocked from the ISS and splashed down thirteen hours later. It was the first water landing by astronauts since 1975.
