"SpaceX Crew-3 will be the fourth crewed operational flight of a Crew Dragon
spacecraft, and the fifth overall crewed orbital flight. The mission is currently planned for launch on 23 October 2021. At a NASA briefing held on 2 May 2021, Steve Stich, program manager of NASA's
Commercial Crew Program,
said Crew-3 will use a new Crew Dragon that is currently being built. The Crew-3 mission will transport three NASA
astronauts and one ESA
astronaut to the ISS f
or a six-month long-duration mission.
The mission will send up German ESA astronaut
Matthias Maurer.
NASA astronauts
Raja Chari and
Thomas Marshburn were added on 14 December 2020 to the crew. The fourth seat was left open in anticipation that a Russian cosmonaut would take the seat, marking the beginning of a barter agreement that would see NASA and
Roscosmos trade seats on the
Soyuz
and Commercial Crew Vehicles, although in April 2021 then-acting NASA administration Steve Jurczyk
said that this agreement would be unlikely to start until after Crew-3 had launched. The fourth seat was allocated to
Kayla Barron in May 2021."
