American aerospace company SpaceX launched the Falcon 9 launch vehicle with Crew Dragon as part of its Crew-7 manned mission. The international crew to the International Space Station included a Russian man, an American woman, a Danish and a Japanese man.

The Falcon 9 rocket was launched from Pad 39A of Kennedy Space Center in Florida at 03:27 local time (10:27 Kiev time). The crew have about 30 hours of flight ahead of them before they reach the ISS and dock the spacecraft at the orbital station. Crew-7 will spend approximately six months on the station after arriving at the ISS, during which time research activities and station maintenance will take place.

“SpaceX, thank you for the trip. It was incredible. “Let there be four crew members on board from four different countries (Denmark, Japan, Russia and the USA), but we are one crew with a shared mission.” post-launch Jasmin Moghbeli (Jasmin Moghbeli), US National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) astronaut and crew commander of Crew-7.

Less than three minutes after launch, the first stage separated from the launch vehicle, which, with the aid of its own engine, made a soft landing on the territory of the US Space Force base at Cape Canaveral, Florida. This was the first flight available for the first degree. The Crew Dragon spacecraft had previously participated in crewed missions of Crew-3 and Crew-5.
