NASA SpaceX Crew-4 Training: Behind the Scenes | Johnson Space Center

NASA SpaceX Crew-4 Training: Behind the Scenes | Johnson Space Center

NASA’s SpaceX Crew-4 training reel. NASA astronauts Kjell Lindgren, Bob Hines, and Jessica Watkins, as well as European Space Agency (ESA) astronaut Samantha Cristoforetti, train for their long-duration mission to the International Space Station. Crew-4 will be the first spaceflight for Hines and Watkins and the second flight for Lindgren and Cristoforetti. 

Launch on a SpaceX Crew Dragon spacecraft atop a Falcon 9 rocket is scheduled for this week at Launch Pad 39A at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The astronauts will conduct scientific research in areas such as materials science, health technologies, and plant science to prepare for human exploration beyond low-Earth orbit.

An international partnership of space agencies provides and operates the elements of the International Space Station (ISS). The principals are the space agencies of the United States, Russia, Europe, Japan, and Canada. The ISS has been the most politically complex space exploration program ever undertaken.
