CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (WSYR-TV) — NASA says it’s a go for the SpaceX launch on Wednesday afternoon.
SpaceX provided the vessel, a Crew Dragon spacecraft, which will lift off on a Falcon 9 rocket.
NASA is supplying the astronauts: Robert Behnken and Douglas Hurley. Hurley is originally from the Southern Tier of New York State.
The rocket is set for liftoff at 4:30 p.m.
The first mission is just a flight test, but NASA says it eventually could certify SpaceX for astronaut missions to the International Space Station.
