SpaceX (SPCX) is scheduled to launch NASA's Crew-13 mission to the International Space Station aboard a Falcon 9 rocket and Dragon spacecraft on Thursday from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida, NASA said late Wednesday.
SpaceX completed a launch readiness review and will proceed toward liftoff from Space Launch Complex 40 no earlier than 11:10 a.m. ET. The crew includes NASA astronauts Jessica Watkins and Luke Delaney, Canadian astronaut Joshua Kutryk and Russian cosmonaut Sergey Teteryatnikov, NASA said.
The flight could be one of the final few SpaceX missions using Dragon, Bloomberg reported Thursday. According to the report, SpaceX plans to retire the spacecraft in the coming years, potentially when the ISS program ends by 2030.
SpaceX did not immediately respond to requests for comment from MT Newswires.
