NASA's Nick Hague and Russian cosmonaut Aleksandr Gorbunov are set for launch aboard SpaceX's Crew Dragon spacecraft, facing weather challenges for their mission to the ISS.
This mission will have only two crew members instead of the usual four, due to complications from Boeing's Starliner flight that affected NASA's crew plans.
Ken Bowersox emphasized that while all missions have unique challenges, this launch is expected to be memorable for the crew involved and for NASA.
NASA initially planned a four-person crew for Crew-9, but Boeing's Starliner mission issues forced the agency to adapt to a two-member launch for safety.
