Washington, Aug 27 (Ians) An international crew of four, representing four countries, was on its way to the International Space Station (Iss). The space agency’s SpaceX Crew-7 mission is the seventh commercial crew rotation mission for NASA.
A SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket launched the Dragon spacecraft into orbit from NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida, carrying NASA astronaut Jasmin Moghbeli, Esa (European Space Agency) astronaut Andreas Mogensen, Jaxa (Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency) astronaut Satoshi Furukawa, and Roscosmos cosmonaut Konstantin Borisov, for a science expedition aboard the orbital laboratory.
NASA Administrator Bill Nelson said late on Saturday that the crew will conduct more than 200 science experiments and technology demonstrations to prepare for missions to the Moon, Mars, and beyond, all while benefiting humanity on Earth.
The Dragon spacecraft was set to dock autonomously to the space-facing port of the station’s Harmony module on Sunday evening.

Washington, Aug 24 (Ians) From Vice President Kamala Harris to Ambassador Eric Garcetti, top American leaders congratulated India for the historic touchdown of Chandrayaan-3 on the southern polar region of the moon, calling it an ‘incredible feat’.
“Congratulations to India for the historic landing of Chandrayaan-3 on the southern polar region of the moon,” Indian-American Kamala Harris wrote on X on Thursday as India became the fourth country to achieve the feat after the US, China, and the erstwhile Soviet Union.
“It’s an incredible feat for all the scientists and engineers involved. We are proud to partner with you on this mission and space exploration more broadly,” Harris said.
Last month, India signed the three-year-old Artemis Accords, a US-led international partnership on planetary exploration and research.
The Artemis Accords is closely linked to NASA’s Artemis Program, which aims to return astronauts to the moon’s surface, build a space camp there,...
