Nasa'S Spacex Crew-7 Launches To International Infinite Station
An international crew of iv representing 4 countries is inward scope next a successful launch to the International Space Station at 3:27 a.thousand. EDT Saturday, Aug. 26, from Launch Complex 39A at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The agency'second SpaceX Crew-seven mission is the 7th commercial crew rotation mission for NASA.
A SpaceX Falcon ix rocket launched the Dragon spacecraft into scope carrying NASA astronaut Jasmin Moghbeli, ESA (European Space Agency) astronaut Andreas Mogensen, JAXA (Nihon Aerospace Exploration Agency) astronaut Satoshi Furukawa, and Roscosmos cosmonaut Konstantin Borisov, for a scientific discipline expedition aboard the orbital laboratory.
During Dragon'second flying, SpaceX volition monitor a serial of automatic spacecraft maneuvers from its mission command centre in Hawthorne, California, too NASA teams will monitor infinite station operations throughout the flight from the Mission Control Center at the agency'sec Johnson Space Center in Houston.
Named Endurance, the Dragon spacecraft volition dock autonomously to the space-facing port of the station'second Harmony module at viii:39 a.thousand. Dominicus, Aug. 27. NASA Television, the NASA app, and the agency's website volition provide alive coverage of docking together with hatch opening. NASA as well will embrace the welcome remarks by crew aboard the orbital outpost at xi:thirty a.one thousand.
Crew-7 will bring together the space station'sec Expedition 69 crew of NASA astronauts Stephen Bowen, Woody Hoburg, in addition to Frank Rubio, as well equally UAE (United Arab Emirates) astronaut Sultan Alneyadi, as well as Roscosmos cosmonauts Sergey Prokopyev, Dmitri Petelin, and Andrey Fedyaev. For a brusque time, the number of crew aboard the space station will increase to 11 until Crew-vi members Bowen, Hoburg, Alneyadi, together with Fedyaev return to world a few days afterward.
Crew-seven will carry novel scientific enquiry to benefit humanity on Earth together with ready for homo exploration beyond depression Earth compass. Experiments include the collection of microbial samples from the outside of the infinite station, the offset report of human being response to different spaceflight durations, as well as an investigation of the physiological aspects of astronauts' slumber. These are simply some of the science experiments and engineering demonstrations that volition have place during their mission.
The Crew-7 mission enables NASA to maximize purpose of the space station, where astronauts testing technologies, performing scientific discipline, too developing the skills needed to go time to come commercial destinations in depression world range too explore farther from world. Research conducted aboard the infinite station provides benefits for people on Earth together with paves the fashion for future long-duration trips to the Moon through NASA'second Artemis missions.
Meet Crew-7
This is Moghbeli'sec start trip into infinite since her selection as a NASA astronaut in 2017. The New York native earned a bachelor'second level inward aerospace applied science amongst information engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology inwards Cambridge, in addition to a Master of Science inwards aerospace engineering science from the Naval Postgraduate School inward Monterey, California. Moghbeli, a helicopter and Marine Corps test pilot, has more than 150 fighting missions in addition to ii,000 hours of flying fourth dimension inward over 25 unlike aircraft. She also is a graduate of the U.south. Naval Test Pilot School in Patuxent River, Maryland. As mission commander, she is responsible for all phases of flight, from launch to re-entry. She volition serve every bit an Expedition 69/70 flying engineer aboard the station. Follow @astrojaws on X.
Mogensen was selected every bit an ESA astronaut in 2009 together with became the offset Danish citizen inwards infinite after launching aboard a Soyuz for a 10-24-hour interval mission to the space station in 2015. Mogensen is from Copenhagen, Denmark. He completed undergraduate studies as well as received a main'sec degree in aeronautical engineering from Imperial College London inwards England earlier gaining his doctorate inwards aerospace engineering science from the University of Texas at Austin. Mogensen has since served equally a crew member for NASA Extreme Environment Mission Operations undersea missions 17 as well as xix. Mogensen was the European astronaut liaison officeholder at NASA Johnson from 2016 to 2022, working equally a capsule communicator for astronauts aboard the station as well as every bit earth support for spacewalks. As the pilot on Crew-vii, he is responsible for spacecraft systems together with performance aboard the station, he will serve every bit an Expedition 69 flying engineer and Expedition 70 commander. Follow @astro_andreas on X.
Furukawa is making his moment trip to space, having spent 165 days aboard the space station every bit part of Expeditions 28 together with 29 in 2011. Furukawa is from Kanagawa, Nihon, and was selected equally a JAXA astronaut in 1999. He is a MD as well as received his medical degree from the University of Tokyo, as well as subsequently a doctorate inwards medical scientific discipline from the same academy. Furukawa served every bit a crew fellow member on the 13th NEEMO mission, too later on, was appointed head of JAXA's Space Biomedical Research Group. Aboard the station, he volition go a flying engineer for Expedition 69/70. Follow @astro_satoshi on X.
Borisov is making his start trip to space as well as volition serve every bit a mission specialist, working to monitor the spacecraft during the dynamic launch and entry phases of flying. He entered the Roscosmos Cosmonaut Corps every bit a examination cosmonaut candidate inward 2018 and volition serve as a flight engineer for Expedition 69/lxx.

"Crew-vii is a shining case of the power of both American ingenuity together with what we tin can attain when nosotros run together," said NASA Administrator Bill Nelson. "Aboard station, the crew volition carry more than 200 scientific discipline experiments as well as technology demonstrations to make for missions to the moon, Mars, together with beyond, all spell benefitting humanity on earth. By partnering amongst countries about the Earth, NASA is engaging the best scientific minds to enable our bold missions, as well as it's clear that nosotros tin make more than – too we tin can learn more than – when nosotros go together."

"The International Space Station is an incredible science as well as applied science platform that requires people from all about the globe to hold in addition to maximize its benefits to people on world," said Ken Bowersox, associate administrator, Space Operations Mission Directorate at NASA Headquarters inward Washington. "It'sec corking seeing Crew-7 launch amongst four crew members representing four countries who will live together with operate on humanity'sec dwelling inward space every bit nosotros go on the most 23 years of a continuous man presence aboard the microgravity laboratory."
