SpaceX is scheduled to launch three NASA astronauts and one Russian cosmonaut Friday, beginning a six-month mission to the International Space Station.
An American-Russian crew of astronauts will blast off from Florida in late February beginning a six-month mission to the International Space Station, marking the 8th flight as part of NASA's Commercial Crew program.
A Russian Soyuz spacecraft carrying two cosmonauts and one NASA astronaut arrived at the International Space Station today (Sept. 15), roughly three hours after lifting off.
The 12-day Russian mission follows the launch of the first all-civilian crew aboard a rocket and capsule developed by SpaceX, which was founded by businessman Elon Musk.
