Soon on NASA+: SpaceX Crew-10 Making Their Way to Station


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.

Four crew members of NASA’s SpaceX Crew-10 mission launched at 7:03 p.m. EDT Friday from Launch Complex 39A at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida for a science expedition aboard the International Space Station.

NASA astronauts Anne McClain, commander, and Nichole Ayers, pilot, along with mission specialists JAXA (Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency) astronaut Takuya Onishi and Roscosmos cosmonaut Kirill Peskov, have received the “go” for tonight’s launch to the International Space Station. Liftoff is less than an hour away. The launch team just verified controllers can soon begin loading […]

Expedition 72 will wait a couple of more days for the arrival of the SpaceX Crew-10 mission as support personnel work a ground issue at the launchpad. Meanwhile, the International Space Station stayed busy with host a microgravity research exploring robotics, combustion, and adaptation to weightlessness.

The Expedition 72 crew kept up its space research activities on Tuesday while also preparing to split up after the SpaceX Crew-10 mission arrives this week. Spacesuit checks and lab maintenance duties rounded out the day aboard the International Space Station as the orbital outpost reached a milestone 150,000 orbits around the Earth.

The SpaceX Falcon rocket that will launch the Crew-10 mission aboard the Dragon crew spacecraft to the International Space Station stands at its launch pad at Kennedy Space Center in Florida today. Crew-10 is counting down to its liftoff targeted for 7:48 p.m. EDT on Wednesday with NASA astronauts Anne McClain and Nichole Ayers, JAXA (Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency) astronaut Takuya Onishi and Roscosmos cosmonaut Kirill Peskov. For an on-time launch, the Crew-10 foursome would dock to the International Space Station at 6 a.m. on Thursday and begin their long-duration mission as Expedition 72 flight engineers.

Expedition 72 changed commanders today as a new crew prepares to launch to the International Space Station and four orbital residents get ready to return to Earth. Meanwhile, human research, fluid physics, and spacesuits wrapped up the end of the week aboard the orbital outpost.

The Expedition 72 crew will change commanders on Friday as four crewmates prepare for their return to Earth. Meanwhile, the International Space Station residents continued their ongoing human research activities while unpacking supplies from a new cargo craft.

Vein scans and muscle stimulation were the primary research activities aboard the International Space Station on Wednesday to learn how to keep crews healthy in space. The Expedition 72 crewmates also continued preparing for an upcoming crew departure while unpacking a cargo craft.

Crew departure preparations and cargo unloading topped the scheduled for the Expedition 72 crew aboard the International Space Station on Tuesday. The orbital residents also kept up their human research activities ensuring crews stay healthy while living in space.
