SpaceX Crew-1 astronauts name Dragon capsule 'Resilience' [i]The next astronauts who will launch on a SpaceX capsule to the International Space Station looked to the present, rather than the past or the future, to select the name for their spacecraft. NASA astronaut Michael Hopkins, commander of SpaceX's Crew-1 mission to the space station, joined his three crewmates in revealing their ship's call sign during a NASA press briefing held on Tuesday (Sept. 29). "We're excited about the opportunity to name our vehicle," Hopkins said, speaking on behalf of he fellow Crew-1 astronauts, Victor Glover and Shannon Walker of NASA and Soichi Noguchi of the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA), at NASA's Johnson Space Center in Houston. "The Crew-1 Dragon capsule, no. 207, will henceforth be known by the call sign 'Resilience.'"[/i]
