SpaceX is preparing to launch two crew members to the International Space Station (ISS) on Saturday, weather permitting.
The Crew Dragon capsule will carry NASA astronaut Nick Hague and Russian cosmonaut Aleksandr Gorbunov, with liftoff scheduled for 1:17 p.m. ET from Florida’s Cape Canaveral.
They will join five others onboard the ISS, rounding out the Expedition 72 team, and are set to stay until February, NBC News has reported.
On their return, NASA astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams, who flew to the station on Boeing’s troubled Starliner capsule, will return with them after Starliner’s earlier issues caused delays.
