NASA’s SpaceX Crew-7 JAXA (Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency) astronaut Satoshi Furukawa smiles outside of the Neil Armstrong Operations and Checkout Building at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida on Saturday, Aug. 26, 2023. Furukawa and his crewmates are preparing to get into the customized Tesla Model X vehicles that will transport them to Kennedy’s Launch Complex 39A. SpaceX’s Dragon spacecraft, powered by the company’s Falcon 9 rocket, will carry the four-person crew – which includes NASA astronaut Jasmin Moghbeli, ESA (European Space Agency) astronaut Andreas Mogensen, and Roscosmos cosmonaut Konstantin Borisov – to the International Space Station as part of NASA’s Commercial Crew Program. Crew-7 is scheduled to launch at 3:27 a.m. EDT.
