Crew-4 astronauts Kjell Lindgren, Samantha Cristoforetti, Bob Hines, and Jessica Watkins wave to their families outside of the Neil Armstrong Operations and Checkout Building at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida before getting into the customized Tesla Model X vehicles that will transport them to their spacecraft at Launch Complex 39A. SpaceX’s Crew Dragon, powered by the company’s Falcon 9 rocket, will carry the four-person crew to the International Space Station as part of NASA’s Commercial Crew Program. Crew-4 is scheduled to launch today at 3:52 a.m. EDT, from Pad 39A at Kennedy.
