NASA's SpaceX Crew-5 Astronauts on Launch Day | Kennedy Space Center

NASA's SpaceX Crew-5 astronauts walked out of the Neil A. Armstrong Operations and Checkout Building at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida on Oct. 5, 2022. The Crew-5 flight carried NASA astronauts Nicole Aunapu Mann and Josh Cassada, JAXA (Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency) astronaut Koichi Wakata, and Roscosmos cosmonaut Anna Kikina (Russia) on the Dragon spacecraft, Endurance. They greeted family and friends before boarding Tesla Model X cars that took them to Launch Complex 39A. They successfully launched to orbit today on a SpaceX Dragon spacecraft atop a Falcon 9 rocket and are on their way to the International Space Station.
