Four astronauts were carried into low earth orbit yesterday about 7:37 p.m. from Kennedy Space Center in Florida. Tonight about 11 p.m. they will dock with the International Space Station (ISS) and begin six months of duty.
They flew in SpaceX's Crew Dragon capsule, launched on top of a Falcon 9 rocket. After SpaceX carried two Americans to the ISS last May, NASA certified them to perform crewed missions. This one, Crew-1, is the first of several that are planned.
Here is NASA TV's highlights of flight day.
(cont'd tomorrow)
