A pair of news conferences on Thursday, March 31, at NASA’s Johnson Space Center in Houston will highlight the agency’s upcoming SpaceX Crew-4 mission to the International Space Station. The mission will be NASA’s latest crew rotation flight involving a U.S. commercial spacecraft carrying astronauts.

The Crew-4 mission will carry NASA astronauts Kjell Lindgren, Hines, and Jessica Watkins, as well as ESA (European Space Agency) astronaut Samantha Cristoforetti. The Falcon 9 rocket bearing the Crew Dragon capsule is scheduled to launch in April from Launch Complex 39A at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida.
