The “Crew-7” mission of the American National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and the space transportation company SpaceX, which aims to send 4 astronauts to the International Space Station (ISS), has officially started.
NASA astronaut Jasmin Moghbeli, European Space Agency (ESA) astronaut Andreas Mogensen, Japan Space Exploration Agency (JAXA) astronaut Satoshi Furukawa and Roscosmos cosmonaut Konstantin Borisov are carrying the Falcon-9 rocket carrying the Dragon spacecraft to the ISS at 03:27 local time. It was successfully launched from the Kennedy Space Center in Florida, USA.
Following the launch, it has been announced that the Falcon-9 rocket’s first stage booster with reusability will land in Landing Zone 1 (LZ-1) at the Cape Canaveral Space Force Station. It has been reported that the Dragon spacecraft will leave the Falcon-9 rocket and continue its orbital journey, which will take approximately 24 hours. During the 190-day mission, the Crew-7 crew is expected to perform over 80 scientific studies and experiments on the ISS.

IT HAS BEEN POSTPONED BEFORE
The launch, which was expected to take place yesterday, was postponed to today, and detailed information about the reason for the decision was not shared. In a statement from SpaceX, it was stated that the delay will “give the team additional time to complete the necessary analysis”. NASA also explained that the delay would give astronauts “additional time to reconfirm necessary safety procedures.”
