NASA’s SpaceX Crew-5 astronauts are just about ready

Four astronauts are close to completing their training for a mission to the International Space Station, according to NASA.

NASA astronauts Nicole Mann and Josh Cassada, together with Koichi Wakata of JAXA, and Anna Kikina of the Russian space agency Roscosmos, will be blasted to space by a rocket from Launch Complex 39A at the Kennedy.

The fifth crew rotation mission of the human space transportation system will begin on September 29th.

The nation of spacefarers usually travel between Earth and the station using their own spaceships.

Training for the upcoming mission has been taking place at NASA's Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas, while training for the Crew Dragon flights to and from the station took place at the headquarters of the company.

Four space travelers have received training for spacewalks, in addition to getting to grips with the space station systems. Russian language lessons for the three non-Russian crew members have been included in the training package.

The Crew-5 chief training officer at Johnson stated that they focus on what they need to perform the space station mission.

The crew members have been exposed to scenarios that will allow them to develop teamwork and expeditionary skills, as well as how to live and work with other people in very high-stress and dangerous situations. They have shown that they are tough and focused. To make the mission a success is very inspiring.

The Crew-5 astronauts will travel to the International Space Station aboard the Crew Dragon, which was used to bring the Crew 3 astronauts to and from the space station.

After years of development, and with lots of useful data gathered from the successful flights of the crewless Cargo Dragon spaceship, the first astronauts were sent to space on a Crew Dragon in the summer of 2020. The images show how the historic mission began.
