NASA and SpaceX Announce Crew-13 Mission to International Space Station
NASA has announced the next group of astronauts who will participate in the Crew-13 mission to the International Space Station (ISS). This mission is a collaboration between NASA and SpaceX, under NASA's Commercial Crew Program. The Crew-13 mission is scheduled to launch in mid-September from the Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The crew will travel aboard a SpaceX Crew Dragon capsule, launched by a Falcon 9 rocket. The mission will include four astronauts: Jessica Watkins, who will serve as the mission commander, Luke Delaney as the pilot, Joshua Kutryk from the Canadian Space Agency as a mission specialist, and Sergey Teteryatnikov from Roscosmos as the second mission specialist. The Crew-13 astronauts will replace the current Crew-12 team and are expected to live and work on the ISS for several months.
