NASA and SpaceX set for Crew-10 launch this week from Florida’s Space Coast

KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, Fla. — NASA and SpaceX crews are preparing to send the next crewed mission to the International Space Station.

The SpaceX Crew-10 launch is planned for Wednesday from Launch Complex 39A at Kennedy Space Center.

The launch window will open at 7:48 p.m., with another opportunity at 7:26 p.m. on Thursday.

The Crew Dragon spacecraft that will be used for this launch has previously flown NASA astronauts to the ISS for the Crew-3, Crew-5, and Crew-7 missions.

After the launch, SpaceX will attempt to launch the first state booster of the rock pack on the ground at its landing site at the Cape Canaveral Space Force Station.

After reaching the space station, Crew-10 will be greeted by the other astronauts aboard the ISS.
