Perhaps as early as tomorrow, Friday, August 25, we could expect another manned mission to the International Space Station. Specifically, SpaceX’s Crew Dragon spacecraft, which will transport four crew members to the ISS, will head to it. The first member is Commander Jasmin Moghbeli, a US Marine Corps lieutenant colonel. The second member of the crew is the pilot, a member of the European Space Agency’s astronaut division, Andreas Mogensen. The third member of the crew and at the same time the first flight specialist is the Japanese astronaut Satoshi Furukawa, who has been a member of the astronaut division of the Japanese Space Agency, known as JAXA, for twenty-four years. The last member of the crew and at the same time the second flight specialist is the Russian cosmonaut Konstantin Borisov, who will become only the third Russian cosmonaut to fly in the Crew Dragon ship. The C210 cabin, named Endurance, was chosen for this mission and will embark on its third mission. As for the first stage, it will fly for the first time and attempt to land on the LZ-1 land area. However, even before the start of the Crew-7 mission, the connection of the Progress MS-24 spacecraft to the Zvezda module on the International Space Station awaits us at 05:49.
