JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — The Falcon 9 launch of Crew-6 on Thursday from Cape Canaveral was a success, according to SpaceX Wednesday morning.
This launch was Dragon's sixth operational human spaceflight mission to the International Space Station from Launch Complex 39A at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida.
The crew onboard include four astronauts - Stephen Bowen, Warren "Woody" Hoburg, Andrey Fedyaev, and Sultan Alneyadi. After a 24.5-hour transit, the crew will dock to the space-facing port of the microgravity laboratory's Harmony module at about 1:17 a.m. Friday, March 3.
During their time on the laboratory, the crew will conduct over 200 science experiments and technology demonstrations.
Mission teams stood down from Monday's (February 27) attempt due to a ground system issue.
Jacksonville's weather will be favorable for viewing with a mostly clear sky and comfortable temperatures near 70 degrees. Don't forget to post your pictures to our First Coast News Weather Watchers Facebook page if you happen to snap any.
