NASA was aiming to launch SpaceX's Crew7 astronauts to the ISS on August 17, but adjustments to other missions mean it's had to select a new date.
NASA and SpaceX are now targeting Monday, August 21, for the launch of the Crew-7 mission to the International Space Station .
Recommended Videos The mission, which is aiming to launch at 5:23 a.m. ET , will use one of SpaceX’s trusty Falcon 9 rockets and a Crew Dragon capsule named Endurance that previously flew NASA’s SpaceX Crew-3 and Crew-5 missions to the orbital outpost. The four astronauts heading to the space station later this month are NASA’s Jasmin Moghbeli from the U.S., the European Space Agency’s Andreas Mogensen from Denmark, Satoshi Furukawa of the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency, and Russian Konstantin Borisov of Roscosmos.
