IT House July 22 news, according to a statement released by NASA local time on Thursday, SpaceX and NASA will complete the Crew-5 launch mission before September 29, which is the next manned spaceflight mission to the International Space Station.
The delay will cause the mission to be delayed until after Russia’s Soyuz next crewed space launch mission.
“The launch at the end of September will allow SpaceX to complete the hardware processing, and the mission team will continue to determine launch dates based on station visits,” NASA officials said.
According to reports, the 5th crew included NASA astronauts Nicole Mann (Nicole Mann and Josh Cassada), Japanese astronaut Koichi Wakata (Koichi Wakata) and Russian astronaut Anna Kina (Anna Kikina)
It’s worth noting that the flight will be a crucial milestone for NASA, as NASA has long supported a “swap” where Russian astronauts fly on U.S. flights while American astronauts continue on Russian astronauts Soyuz spacecraft.
After lengthy negotiations, NASA announced last week that NASA and Roscosmos had agreed that astronaut Andrei Fedyaev would fly in Crew 6, which is currently scheduled to launch next spring. Meanwhile, NASA astronauts Frank Rubio and Laura O’Hara will fly separate Soyuz missions in the coming months.
The launch of the next Soyuz spacecraft and the return of the current Soyuz crew is scheduled between September 16 and September 30, NASA said.
