“NASA will launch its second commercial space craft with four astronauts” NASA and SpaceX will launch their second spacecraft as part of the Commercial Crew Program on Sunday. The mission, called Crew-1, comes after the successful flight test in May known as Demo-2. The time of departure is estimated to be at 7:27 p.m. Eastern Time from NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida. NASA’s Commercial Crew Program works with two partner companies, SpaceX and Boeing, in order to develop “commercial crew space” transportation that will eventually allow lower cost traveling to the International Space Station and low-Earth orbit, according to NASA. “This launching is important not only for NASA, but for the entire United States,” said Gustavo Martinez, propulsion systems engineer for NASA. • 📝 Article by Adriana Morga 📸 Photo by @nasa 🔗 Link to full story: goldengatexpress.org/95318/top-stories/nasa-will-launch-its-second-commercial-space-craft-with-four-astronauts/#photo • #na...
