() Introduction
() SpaceX Launches Crew-9 Mission to Rescue Stranded Astronauts on the ISS
SpaceX has successfully launched the Crew-9 mission from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida at 1:17 p.m. EDT. This mission is notable for its reduced crew size, carrying only two astronauts, NASA's Nick Hague and Russia's Aleksandr Gorbunov, to the International Space Station (ISS). The adjustment in crew size was made to accommodate the return of astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams, who have been at the ISS since June due to issues with Boeing's Starliner capsule. The Crew-9 mission is scheduled to last five months, during which the astronauts will conduct over 200 science experiments and demonstrations. Upon their arrival at the ISS at 5:30 p.m. EDT, the crew will begin their research activities. Due to the thruster issues with the Boeing Starliner, the astronauts will return to Earth aboard the Dragon spacecraft in February 2025.
