NASA to Launch First Manned Mission From US in Decade:
NASA has announced that it will send two US astronauts to the International Space Station on May 27 via a SpaceX rocket. This will be the first such spacecraft to be sent from the US in the last nearly a decade, which will carry astronauts. Jim Bridenstine, the head of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), tweeted that on May 27, NASA will once again send American astronauts into space via American rockets from American Earth.
The US space agency had targeted sending astronauts in May. He will complete the operation in May, despite the worldwide coronavirus epidemic spreading. Astronauts Robert Benken and Douglas Hurley will fly to ISS with SpaceX's Falcon 9 rocket.
NASA said that the astronauts will fly from historic launch pad 39A at Kennedy Space Center in Florida on May 27 at four o'clock in the evening (8:32 pm international time). The same launch pad was also used for the Apollo and Space Shuttle missions.
