SpaceX Crew-3 Mission Lifts Off to International Space Station

NASA and SpaceX successfully launched a crew of four astronauts from NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida to the International Space Station on the night of November 10.

The mission, called Crew-3, is carrying three NASA astronauts — Raja Chari, Tom Marshburn, and Kayla Barron — and one German astronaut, Matthias Maurer of the European Space Agency.
