The astronauts are on their way to the station. We have everything you need to watch the arrival on the internet.
The space station's crew of NASA astronauts, as well as European Space Agency astronauts, will be joined by Mann, Wakata, and Kikina.
The number of crew members on the International Space Station will increase to 11 until four crew members return to Earth.
Crew-5 is proof that we are living through a golden era of commercial space exploration according to NASA chief Bill Nelson. A new era is powered by the spirit of partnership, fueled by scientific ingenuity, and inspired by the search for new discoveries.
Crew-5 will conduct more than 200 science experiments and technology demonstrations, including studies on printing human organs in space and better understanding heart disease. While our eyes are focused on the heavens, we should remember that these missions will improve life on Earth.
The crew will dock with the space station at 4:57pm. On October 6th. The procedure will be streamed on NASA's YouTube channel, which is at the top of this page.
The space station's hatch is scheduled to open at 6:42pm. The crew will be entering the outpost for the first time.
The time is at 8:05 pm. A welcoming ceremony will be held at the station.
The new arrivals will get used to the microgravity environment and layout of the station after that. Check out the videos made by visitors over the years to get a better idea of how people live and work at the station.
