SpaceX Crew-10 Successfully Launches to International Space Station

The mission, carrying four astronauts from NASA, JAXA, and Roscosmos, faced delays and last-minute technical challenges before liftoff.

SpaceX's Crew-10 mission launched at 7:03 p.m. EST on March 14, carrying four astronauts to the International Space Station (ISS) for a six-month expedition.
The crew includes NASA astronauts Anne McClain and Nichole Ayers, JAXA astronaut Takuya Onishi, and Roscosmos cosmonaut Kirill Peskov, marking a continuation of international collaboration aboard the ISS.
The mission utilized the Crew Dragon spacecraft Endurance, previously flown on three ISS missions, after delays in completing a new Crew Dragon capsule prompted a switch in spacecraft.
The launch followed a scrubbed attempt on March 12 due to a hydraulics issue, which was resolved by addressing trapped air in the system supporting the Falcon 9 rocket.
Crew-10's arrival will overlap with Crew-9's departure, which has drawn political attention due to claims by Elon Musk and former President Trump regarding the timing of the astronauts' return.
