Update April 27th, 4:18AM ET: <\/strong><\/em>SpaceX successfully launched the crew from NASA\u2019s Kennedy Space Center at 3:52AM ET. The astronauts will now spend roughly 17 hours en route to the ISS, and are due to dock with the space station at around 8:15PM ET, reports <\/em>Reuters<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Original Story: <\/strong>In the early morning hours, SpaceX is set to launch its seventh crewed mission to orbit, this time sending three NASA astronauts and an Italian astronaut to the International Space Station<\/a>. Their launch will spark the beginning of a six-month stay on board the ISS, part of SpaceX\u2019s commitment to NASA to periodically fly astronauts to and from the orbiting lab.<\/p>\n

The mission, called Crew-4, is SpaceX\u2019s fourth operational human spaceflight mission to the ISS for NASA. The company has been flying NASA astronauts to the space station as part of the agency\u2019s Commercial Crew Program, an initiative to use privately made spacecraft to ferry crews to low Earth orbit. SpaceX launched its first crew to the ISS on the company\u2019s Crew Dragon spacecraft in 2020 and has been getting into a steady rhythm with follow-up crewed missions ever since.<\/p>\n

On board this flight are two veteran flyers: NASA astronaut Kjell Lindgren and Italian astronaut Samantha Cristoforetti from the European Space Agency, who have both visited the International Space Station before. They\u2019ll be joined by two rookie flyers for this trip, including NASA astronauts Jessica Watkins and Bob Hines, both of whom were selected to be astronauts in 2017. Watkins will also be making history with her flight, as she\u2019ll be the first Black woman to live as a long-term crew member on the space station.<\/p>\n
