Watch the highlights of SpaceX’s Crew-5 launch to space station

NASA and SpaceX successfully launched the four Crew-5 astronauts to the International Space Station (ISS) on Wednesday, October 5.

SpaceX’s Falcon 9 rocket and Crew Dragon spacecraft departed Launch Complex 39A at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida on time, at noon.

Just over eight minutes after launch, the rocket’s first-stage booster made a perfect landing on the Just Read The Instructions drone ship waiting in the ocean, paving way for the rocket to be used again in a future mission.

Just over 12 minutes after leaving Kennedy, the Crew Dragon capsule successfully separated from Falcon 9’s second stage, setting the astronauts on course for the space station.

Finally, here’s some footage from inside the capsule as it heads toward the space station. One of the astronauts offers some words about Albert Einstein, a toy version of which acted as the crew’s zero-g indicator so they could see the moment when their spacecraft had reached a microgravity environment a few minutes after launch.

Crew-5 comprises NASA astronauts Nicole Mann and Josh Cassada, along with Koichi Wakata of the JAXA (Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency), and Anna Kikina of Russia’s Roscosmos space agency.

They’ll arrive at the space station on Thursday afternoon ET, and will spend about four months living and working aboard the space-based laboratory as it orbits at around 250 miles above Earth.

This is the first time in space for Mann, Cassada, and Kikina. Wakata, on the other hand, has plenty of experience, having already been on four orbital missions, the first of which took place in 1996 and the most recent in 2013.

The Crew-5 mission is SpaceX’s eighth crewed flight since the first one in the summer of 2020. The Crew-5 mission is the seventh to the space station. The other crewed flight involved the first-ever all-civilian mission, which stayed in low-Earth orbit for several days without docking at the ISS.

SpaceX shares photos of Starship ahead of sixth flight on Tuesday
SpaceX's Starship ahead of its sixth test flight.

SpaceX is just a couple of days away from sending its enormous Starship rocket on its sixth test flight from its facility in Boca Chica, Texas.

The mission had originally targeted Monday, November 18, for the launch of the vehicle -- comprising the main-stage Super Heavy booster and the upper-stage Starship spacecraft -- but on Friday, SpaceX pushed the launch to Tuesday, November 19. Here's how to watch a livestream of the mission.

As SpaceX gears up for the sixth test flight of its mighty Starship, the company has shared images of the rocket out on the launchpad at the Starbase facility in Boca Chica, Texas. The images capture the striking view of the almost 400-foot-tall rocket, with the 165-foot-tall upper stage mounted on top of the Super Heavy booster.

The test flight is scheduled for Monday, November 18, with the aim being to test new facilities such as burning one of the Raptor engines on the upper stage while in space to test future abilities to perform a deorbit burn. The company will also be hoping to once again catch the incoming booster for reuse using the giant "chopsticks" at its pad, as it previously did for the first time during the fifth test flight of the Starship in October.

SpaceX Dragon to give the International Space Station an altitude boost today
A SpaceX Crew Dragon spacecraft docked at the space station.

Friday will see a new event for the International Space Station (ISS) as a SpaceX Dragon spacecraft is used to boost its altitude for the first time. As drag works on the space station, its altitude gradually degrades over time, and so it needs to be given an occasional push to keep it at its correct altitude, around 250 miles from the Earth's surface.

The reboost is scheduled for today, November 8, as one of the Dragons that is currently docked to the space station will fire its thrusters for around 12.5 minutes. There are currently two Dragons docked -- one of which carried crew and one of which carried cargo to the station. The cargo vehicle will perform the boost maneuver. As this is the first time this has been attempted, NASA and SpaceX personnel will observe the event carefully.
