it house news on september 30. on september 29, local time, the national aeronautics and space administration (nasa) stated that the dragon spacecraft of the american space exploration technology company (spacex) for the space rescue mission "crew-9" has been deployed. it successfully arrived at the international space station at 17:30 eastern time on the 29th (it home note: 5:30 beijing time on september 30).

the hatch between the two spacecraft is expected to open around 7:15 p.m. et, and astronauts from the international space station will give welcome remarks 25 minutes later.

according to it house, the "crew-9" mission was launched from the space launch complex 40 (slc-40) at cape canaveral air force station in florida on saturday afternoon local time, bringing nasa astronaut nick・haig and russian cosmonaut alexander gorbunov were launched into orbit. spacex's crew dragon spacecraft usually carries four astronauts to the international space station,however, in order to bring astronauts butch wilmore and suni williams who were previously stranded on the international space station back to earth, nasa has halved the astronaut list of the "crew-9" mission。

butch wilmore and suni williams arrived at the international space station aboard boeing's starliner in june. their mission was originally only planned to last about 10 days, but starliner encountered thruster problems in orbit, and nasa extended its stay on the international space station to study the problem.

nasa ultimately decided that it was too risky to return wilmore and williams to earth on starliner, so the capsule returned to earth unmanned on september 7, and the two men will return to earth at the end of the "crew-9" mission later, he returned to earth with hagrid and gorbunov in february 2025.
