NASA’s live coverage is underway on NASA+ ahead of hatch closure and undocking preparations for the return of NASA’s SpaceX Crew-9 mission.
There are 11 crewmates aboard the International Space Station today but that will end soon when four SpaceX Crew-9 members depart for a return to Earth on Tuesday, weather permitting.
NASA astronauts Anne McClain and Nichole Ayers, JAXA (Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency) astronaut Takuya Onishi, and Roscosmos cosmonaut Kirill Peskov entered the International Space Station shortly after opening the hatches between the space station and the SpaceX Dragon spacecraft at 1:35 a.m. EDT.
NASA astronauts Anne McClain and Nichole Ayers, JAXA (Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency) astronaut Takuya Onishi, and Roscosmos cosmonaut Kirill Peskov arrived at the International Space Station on Sunday, as the SpaceX Dragon spacecraft docked to the orbiting complex at 12:04 a.m. EDT, while the station was roughly 260 statute miles over the Atlantic Ocean.
NASA’s live arrival coverage of the agency’s SpaceX Crew-10 mission is underway on NASA+ as NASA astronauts Anne McClain and Nichole Ayers, JAXA (Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency) astronaut Takuya Onishi, and Roscosmos cosmonaut Kirill Peskov make their way to the International Space Station. The SpaceX Dragon spacecraft is scheduled to dock at approximately 12:07 a.m. […]
NASA’s SpaceX Crew-10 crew members continue making their way to the International Space Station with docking now targeted about 12:07 a.m. EDT Sunday, March 16.
NASA astronauts Anne McClain, commander and Nichole Ayers, pilot, mission specialists JAXA (Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency) astronaut Takuya Onishi and Roscosmos cosmonaut Kirill Peskov, and their SpaceX Dragon spacecraft have reached orbit, and the nosecone has opened. The crew will spend roughly the next 28.5 hours to rendezvous and dock to the International Space Station. […]
The SpaceX Dragon spacecraft has separated from the Falcon 9’s second stage and is flying on its own. The spacecraft is traveling at approximately 17,500 miles per hour (28,200 kilometers per hour). In less than a minute, the Dragon nosecone open sequence will begin.
The first stage of the SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket has completed its descent and landed at the company’s Landing Zone 1 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida.
SpaceX’s Falcon 9 rocket has reached Max-Q, the moment of peak mechanical stress on the rocket.
The first and second stages have separated.
Next, the rocket’s first stage booster is scheduled to land at SpaceX’s Landing Zone 1 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida.
