This is a list of all crewed spacecraft types that have flown into space, including sub-orbital flights above 80 km, space stations that have been visited by at least one crew member, and spacecraft currently planned to operate with crews in the future. [1]

Beginning in 1961 with the flight of Yuri Gagarin aboard Vostok 1, crewed spaceflight occurs when a human crew flies a spacecraft into outer space. Human spaceflight is distinguished from spaceflight generally, which entails both crewed and uncrewed spacecraft.

Human spaceflight (also referred to as manned spaceflight or crewed spaceflight) is spaceflight with a crew or passengers aboard a spacecraft, often with the spacecraft being operated directly by the onboard human crew.

Humanity's first reusable spacecraft, the space shuttle carried people into orbit repeatedly; launched, recovered and repaired satellites; conducted cutting-edge research; and built the largest structure in space, the International Space Station.

May 27, 2020 · Eight spacecraft have carried humans into orbit; if next week's Demo-2 launch goes smoothly, SpaceX's Crew Dragon will become the ninth.

Mar 20, 2025 · NASA’s Orion spacecraft is built to take humans farther into deep space than ever before. Launching atop NASA’s Space Launch System (SLS) rocket, Orion will carry the crew to the Moon and safely return them to Earth on Artemis missions.

5 days ago · Proposed in 1946, a spacecraft based on V-2 rockets could have put a human in space a decade before Yuri Gagarin — but it was never funded. ... The British manned space program that almost was.

Dec 1, 2023 · A manned space mission, often referred to as a human spaceflight, involves sending a crew of passengers or astronauts into space aboard a spacecraft. The crew often operates the spacecraft and can provide real-time data and make complex decisions on-site.

Mar 23, 2025 · On April 13, 1964, just five days after the uncrewed Gemini I mission, in the newly open auditorium at the Manned Spacecraft Center, now NASA’s Johnson Space Center in Houston, Director Robert Gilruth introduced the Gemini III crew to the press. NASA assigned Mercury 4 veteran Grissom and Group 2 astronaut Young as the prime crew, with Mercury 8 veteran Walter Schirra and Group 2 astronaut ...
