  • Astronauts and materials for Canadian science heading to the International Space Station aboard Crew-10

    NASA's SpaceX Crew-10 mission is scheduled to launch tomorrow, March 12, from Kennedy Space Center in Florida. SpaceX's Crew Dragon spacecraft will lift off atop a Falcon 9 rocket and is expected to dock to the International Space Station (ISS) the following day. Crew Dragon will carry NASA astronauts Anne McClain as commander and Nichole Ayers as pilot, along with Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency astronaut Takuya Onishi, and Roscosmos cosmonaut Kirill Peskov to the ISS for an approximate five-month science mission. The crewed vessel will also deliver materials for Canadian experiments Vascular Calcium and Space Health, which includes headbands and wearables for the Bio-Monitor, a Canadian innovative all-in-one wearable technology designed to fit into an astronaut's daily routine and measure physiological data.
