NASA and SpaceX Launch Historic Mission to International Space Station, Carrying Astronauts from Three Nations

SpaceX and NASA launched a mission to the International Space Station on Thursday morning, carrying two NASA astronauts, a Russian cosmonaut, and an astronaut from the United Arab Emirates. The Crew Dragon capsule detached from the Falcon 9 rocket and is expected to dock at the space station on Friday. This mission is the first time an Arab astronaut has been assigned to a long-duration spaceflight and will last roughly six months, during which the astronauts will conduct a variety of experiments and research projects.
