In these views outside the Neil Armstrong Operations and Checkout Building at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida on Feb. 26, 2023, are two Tesla vehicles that will transport NASA’s SpaceX Crew-6 astronauts to Launch Complex 39A for launch to the International Space Station. 

Crew-6 astronauts are NASA astronaut Stephen Bowen, spacecraft commander; NASA astronaut Warren “Woody” Hoburg, pilot; Sultan Alneyadi, United Arab Emirates astronaut and mission specialist; and Andrei Fedyaev, Roscosmos cosmonaut (Russia) and mission specialist.

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.
