Completion of a Final Launch Operations Rehearsal at the Neil A. Armstrong Operations and Checkout Building and at Launch Complex 39A for the Crew 5 launch, Sunday, Oct. 2, 2022, at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida. 

NASA’s SpaceX Crew-5 mission is the fifth crew rotation mission of the SpaceX Crew Dragon spacecraft and Falcon 9 rocket to the International Space Station as part of the agency’s Commercial Crew Program. NASA astronauts Nicole Mann and Josh Cassada, Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) astronaut Koichi Wakata, and Roscosmos cosmonaut Anna Kikina are scheduled to launch no earlier than 12:00 p.m. EDT on Oct. 5, from Launch Complex 39A at the Kennedy Space Center.

An international partnership of space agencies provides and operates the elements of the  International Space Station (ISS). The principals are the space agencies of the United States, Russia, Europe, Japan, and Canada. The ISS has been the most politically complex space exploration program ever undertaken.
