India Today  

After a successful trip in May, SpaceX is all ready to take four more astronauts to the International Space Station. Three Nasa crew and one Japanese astronaut will be launched aboard a SpaceX rocket on Saturday, bound for the ISS. Nasa on Tuesday officially certified as safe the Crew Dragon capsule developed for regular astronaut transportation by SpaceX, the company founded by Elon Musk that carried two astronauts to the ISS in May and back to Earth again in August without major incident. "For the next 15 months, we will fly seven crew and cargo Dragon missions for NASA," SpaceX head of crewed flights Benji Reed said during a phone call Tuesday, adding, "That means that starting with Crew-1, there will be a continuous presence of SpaceX Dragons in orbit."
