Crew-4 mission astronauts Samantha Cristoforetti, left, and Jessica Watkins relax in the suit room in the Astronaut Crew Quarters inside Kennedy Space Center’s Neil A. Armstrong Operations and Checkout Building on April 27, 2022. A team of SpaceX suit technicians assisted the crew as they put on their custom-fitted spacesuits and checked the suits for leaks. Astronauts Kjell Lindgren and Bob Hines will join Cristoforetti and Watkins aboard SpaceX’s Crew Dragon, powered by the company’s Falcon 9 rocket, which will carry the four-person crew to the International Space Station as part of NASA’s Commercial Crew Program. Crew-4 is scheduled to lift off today at 3:52 a.m. EDT from Launch Complex 39A at Kennedy.
