Overview

• SpaceX's Falcon 9 launched the Crew-10 mission from Kennedy Space Center on March 14, carrying four astronauts to the ISS.
• The Crew Dragon spacecraft Endurance, previously used on three missions, was chosen due to delays with a new capsule's development.
• Crew-10 includes NASA astronauts Anne McClain and Nichole Ayers, JAXA's Takuya Onishi, and Roscosmos' Kirill Peskov for a six-month mission.
• The mission enables the return of Crew-9, including NASA astronauts Suni Williams and Butch Wilmore, who faced a prolonged ISS stay after issues with Boeing's Starliner spacecraft.
• The Crew-10 team will conduct scientific research, including spacecraft safety tests and studies on human adaptation to space for future missions.
