These l aunches carry up to four astronauts and 100 kg (220 lb) of cargo to the IS S as well as feature a lifeboat function to evacuate astronauts from ISS i n case of an emergency. Only two crew will fly on this mission\, and they will carry suits that will allow the Boeing Starliner astronauts to return when Crew 9 does. First crewed mission to launch from Cape Canaveral Spac e Launch Complex 40.

Its primary objective is to study the D idymos binary asteroid system that was impacted by DART and contribute to validation of the kinetic impact method to deviate a near-Earth asteroid i n a colliding trajectory with Earth. It will measure the size and the morp hology of the crater created by and momentum transferred by an artificial projectile impacting an asteroid\, which will allow measuring the efficien cy of the deflection produced by the impact. It will also carry two nano-s atellite CubeSats\, called Milani and Juventas.

Key mission objectives are to p roduce high-resolution images of Europa's surface\, determine its composit ion\, look for signs of recent or ongoing geological activity\, measure th e thickness of the moon's icy shell\, search for subsurface lakes\, and de termine the depth and salinity of Europa's ocean. The mission will fly pas t Mars and Earth before arriving at Jupiter in April 2030. The side booste rs and the center core will all be expended.
