Four people are heading to the International Space Station after a successful pre-dawn liftoff from the Kennedy Space Center in Florida aboard a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket.
This mission — called Crew-7 — took about nine minutes to reach 17,500 mph and enter low-earth orbit. For the next 29 hours, the capsule will race to catch up to the I.S.S. with a planned docking around 8:50 a.m. ET on Sunday. This is a scheduled six-month mission that's packed with dozens of science and other experiments.
