SpaceX Crew-9 Launch Set with Adjusted Astronaut Roster

NASA reassigns two astronauts due to Boeing Starliner issues, with launch scheduled for September 28.

SpaceX Crew-9 mission will launch from Cape Canaveral on September 28 with NASA astronaut Nick Hague and Roscosmos cosmonaut Aleksandr Gorbunov.
Two NASA astronauts, originally part of Crew-9, were reassigned due to issues with Boeing's Starliner spacecraft.
The Starliner crew faced propulsion system problems during a June 6 docking attempt, leading to their extended stay on the ISS.
NASA has arranged for the Starliner astronauts to return on the Crew Dragon spacecraft already docked at the ISS.
SpaceX Crew-9 will carry mass simulators in the two empty seats to maintain the spacecraft's balance during launch.
