The four crew members who comprise the SpaceX Crew-7 objective posture for a photo in their spacesuits throughout a training session at the businesss headquarters in Hawthorne, California. Konstantin Borisov from Roscosmos has actually been called the last team member for NASAs mid-August SpaceX Crew-7 objective to the International Space Station, signing up with astronauts from NASA, ESA, and JAXA. For continued safe operations of the space station, the incorporated crew agreement helps make sure that each crewed spacecraft docked to the station includes an integrated crew with qualified crew members in both the Russian and U.S. Operating Segment systems.
Borisov joins formerly called crew members NASA astronaut Jasmin Moghbeli, ESA (European Space Agency) astronaut Andreas Mogensen, and astronaut Satoshi Furukawa from JAXA (Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency).
This will be the first spaceflight for Borisov, who entered the Roscosmos Cosmonaut Corps as a test cosmonaut prospect in 2018.
A SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket will release Crew-7 aboard a Dragon spacecraft, called Endurance, from Launch Complex 39A at NASAs Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The spacecraft formerly flew NASAs SpaceX Crew-3 and Crew-5 objectives.
NASA and Roscosmos fly integrated teams on U.S. team spacecraft and on the Soyuz spacecraft to ensure ongoing safe operations of the International Space Station and the security of its crew. Integrated crews have been the norm throughout the International Space Station Program, as five area firms (the Canadian Space Agency, the European Space Agency, the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency, NASA, and Roscosmos) operate the station, with each area agency responsible for managing and managing the hardware it provides.
The station was created to be interdependent and relies on contributions from each area firm to work. Nobody company has the capability to operate independent of the others. For continued safe operations of the spaceport station, the integrated crew arrangement helps guarantee that each crewed spacecraft docked to the station includes an integrated team with qualified crew members in both the Russian and U.S. Operating Segment systems.

Konstantin Borisov from Roscosmos has been called the last crew member for NASAs mid-August SpaceX Crew-7 objective to the International Space Station, signing up with astronauts from NASA, ESA, and JAXA. This marks Borisovs first spaceflight. The international cooperation aboard the ISS makes sure safe operations, with team members trained across different area company systems.
The final team member for NASAs SpaceX Crew-7 mission, presently targeted to introduce to the International Space Station (ISS) in mid-August, has actually been revealed.
Roscosmos cosmonaut Konstantin Borisov will fly as an objective professional on SpaceXs seventh rotational mission to the orbiting laboratory for NASA.
