In this paper, the compressible Navier-Stokes system (CNS) with constant viscosity coefficients is considered in three space dimensions. we prove the global existence of spherically symmetric weak solutions to the free boundary problem for the CNS with vacuum and free boundary separating fluids and vacuum. In addition, the free boundary is shown to expand outward at an algebraic rate in time.
