NASA Sets Briefings for SpaceX Crew-13 Mission to Space Station

NASA's SpaceX Crew-13 is aiming for a mid-September launch, carrying four astronauts from three countries to the International Space Station. The crew includes NASA astronauts Jessica Watkins and Luke Delaney, Canadian Space Agency astronaut Joshua Kutryk, and Roscosmos cosmonaut Sergey Teteryatnikov. Before launch, NASA will host briefings on August third at Johnson Space Center in Houston, where the mission leadership and crew will discuss their training and preparations. NASA says this is Crew-13's final media availability before heading to Kennedy Space Center in Florida. Commander Watkins will become the first NASA astronaut to fly SpaceX Dragon twice, while Delaney, Kutryk, and Teteryatnikov will all be on their first spaceflights.
