NASA's Space to Ground: A Space Community | Week of Sept. 13, 2024


NASA's Space to Ground is your weekly update on what's happening aboard the International Space Station. The launch of NASA astronaut Nick Hague, commander, and Roscosmos cosmonaut Aleksandr Gorbunov (Russia), mission specialist of Crew-9 is targeted no earlier than Wednesday, Sept. 25, 2024, from Complex-40 at Cape Canaveral aboard a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket and Dragon spacecraft named Freedom. As part of the Crew-9 crew, Hague and Gorbunov will join NASA astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams, who arrived at the space station in June.

Crew-9 is the ninth crew rotation mission with SpaceX to the space station under NASA’s Commercial Crew Program. The crew will spend approximately five months at the orbiting laboratory conducting spacewalks, research demonstrations, and experiments before returning in February 2025.
