By degree Paul Borrow-Longain is an Astrophysicist and an enthusiasts for manned and unmanned space exploration. This morning started at 04:30h UTC to watch the SpaceX Falcon 9 launch from Kennedy Space Centre in Florida this morning, having set my alarm for 04:30h UTC. The launch delivers Crew 6 to the International Space Station (ISS).
Two NASA astronauts, a United Arab Emirates astronaut, and a Russian cosmonaut have been assigned to the mission. The two NASA astronauts are Captain (USN) Stephen Bowen and Prof Warren Hoburg. The cosmonaut, Major Andrey Fedyaev, was reassigned from Soyuz MS-23. Sultan Al Neyadi will head the Emirates’ mission on the flight.
While the Dragon Capsule, Endeavour, continued on it’s journey, Stage One successfully landed on the SpaceX vessel a few hundred miles of the Florida coast.
