Crew 9 commander Zena Cardman and Stephanie Wilson will remain behind when the Crew Dragon ferry ship takes off from pad 40 at the Cape Canaveral Space Force Station on Sept. 24 .

Nick Hague , a Space Force colonel, former F-16 test pilot and combat veteran, was originally assigned as Cardman 's co-pilot.

The Crew 9 launch is the first step in a complex sequence of flights to replace the station's seven long-duration crew members with a fresh set of astronauts and cosmonauts.
