"SpaceX Crew-7 Mission Launches, Storm From Space, and Lunar Exploration: This Week's NASA Highlights"

This week at NASA, the SpaceX Crew-7 mission successfully launched to the International Space Station, where the four-person crew will conduct research and technology demonstrations for the next six months. External cameras on the space station captured views of Hurricane Idalia as it made landfall in Florida. NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter data was used to train Artemis II astronauts on lunar exploration, and August 30 marked the forty-year anniversary of Guy Bluford becoming the first African American to fly in space.

ISS Dodges Space Debris, Awaits SpaceX Crew-7 and Cargo Replenishment

The International Space Station (ISS) received a new cargo craft while the launch of the SpaceX Crew-7 mission was postponed for 24 hours. The crew members of Expedition 69 began unpacking the new cargo and servicing science equipment on the ISS. Meanwhile, the Roscosmos Progress 85 resupply ship successfully docked with the ISS, delivering food, fuel, and supplies. The launch of the SpaceX Dragon Endurance spacecraft, carrying the Crew-7 members, has been rescheduled for the next day to allow for a review of safety and life support systems. The four crew members are set to join the ISS for a six-month microgravity research mission.
