The Dragon capsule will launch on a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket from Florida’s Cape Canaveral Space Force Station at 1:17 p.m. ET.
NASA’s SpaceX Crew-9 mission is due to liftoff on Saturday, sending two astronauts zooming toward the International Space Station, with the hopes of returning two more astronauts stuck in space.
The astronauts aboard the Dragon capsule—NASA astronaut Nick Hague and Roscosmos cosmonaut Aleksandr Gorbunov—are scheduled to be launched into space using a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket from Florida’s Cape Canaveral Space Force Station at 1:17 p.m. ET.
The Dragon spacecraft will remain docked at the ISS for five months until it returns with the Crew-9 astronauts, as well as Suni Williams and Butch Wilmore, the NASA astronauts who flew to the station in June aboard the malfunctioning Boeing Starliner and have been stranded in space ever since.
„Crew-9 is the ninth crew rotation mission with SpaceX to the space station under NASA’s Commercial Crew Program.
