Meet us at midnight
Crew-6’s journey to the International Space Station (ISS) aboard the SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket is now targeted for launch at 12:34 am ET (0534 UTC) on March 2 from NASAKennedy. The quartet was due to lift off on Feb. 27, before launch controllers detected an issue preventing data from confirming a full load of the ignition source for the Falcon 9 rocket’s fist stage Merlin engines.
Crew-6 will carry two NASAAstronauts – Mission Commander Stephen Bowen and Pilot Warren “Woody” Hoburg – along with United Arab Emirates astronaut Sultan Alneyadi and Roscosmos cosmonaut Andrey Fedyaev, who join as mission specialists.
