Four astronauts are launching to the International Space Station! Their names are Kjell Lindgren, Bob Hines, Jessica Watkins, and Samantha Cristoforetti.
(And p.s., it’s Samantha’s birthday today 🥳)
They are launching April 27 at 3:52 a.m. ET, 7:52 UTC. After launch, they’ll spend six months aboard the @iss conducting science experiments to help improve life on Earth, and help extend our knowledge about living in space long-term.
Want to watch them launch into space?! We’ll be airing launch and docking on NASA TV. Until then, get to know the crew!
