Read our privacy policy After waiting for the private Axiom-1 mission to launch, and then return from space, Nasa’s Crew-4 mission has finally blasted off for the International Space Station. The SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket and Crew Dragon spacecraft carrying Nasa astronauts lifted off from launch complex 39A at Kennedy Space Center at 3.52am EDT — 8.52am BST — on Wednesday. Crew-4 will see mission commander Kjell Lindgren, mission pilot Bob Hines, mission specialist Jessica Watkins, and mission specialist Samantha Cristoforetti, of the European Space Agency, spend roughly six months on the ISS. “That type of technology could eventually be used to replace the damaged photoreceptor cells in the eyes, and potentially restore meaningful vision to the millions of people who suffer from retinal degenerative diseases.” Crew-4 is the fourth mission under Nasa’s Commercial Crew program, where the space agency contracts with private launch providers to ferry astronauts to and from the ISS.
