NASA Astronaut & SpaceX Crew-7 Commander Jasmin Moghbeli | NASA Kennedy


NASA astronaut and SpaceX Crew-7 commander Jasmin Moghbeli smiles to the crowd after arriving at the Launch and Landing Facility at Kennedy Space Center in Florida—along with the rest of her crewmates—on Sunday, Aug. 20, 2023. Moghbeli is part of NASA’s SpaceX Crew-7 mission—the agency’s seventh rotational mission to the International Space Station. Moghbeli is a naval aviator, test pilot, and aerospace engineer. This will be the first spaceflight for Moghbeli, who became a NASA astronaut in 2017.

Astronaut Jasmin Moghbeli Official NASA Biography:


Moghbeli will be joined by European Space astronaut Andreas Mogensen of Denmark, Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) astronaut Satoshi Furukawa, and Roscosmos cosmonaut Konstantin Borisov of Russia.


Crew-7 will launch to the International Space Station aboard SpaceX’s Dragon spacecraft on the company’s Falcon 9 rocket. Liftoff is targeted for no earlier than 3:49 a.m. EDT Friday, Aug. 25, 2023, from Kennedy’s Launch Complex 39A.

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.

NASA’s Commercial Crew Program (CCP) works with the American aerospace industry to provide safe, reliable, and cost-effective transportation to and from the International Space Station on American-made rockets and spacecraft launching from American soil.
