Manama: NASA, in cooperation with SpaceX, is set to launch a new crewed mission to the International Space Station (ISS) on Thursday, September 26, as part of NASA’s Commercial Crew Programme.

The mission will include NASA astronaut Nick Hague and Russian cosmonaut Aleksandr Gorbunov, who will launch aboard SpaceX’s Dragon spacecraft from Cape Canaveral, Florida.

This marks the ninth crew rotation mission under the programme.

Astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams, who travelled to the ISS on Boeing’s Starliner in June, are expected to return to Earth alongside Hague and Gorbunov in February 2025.
