SpaceX to launch astronaut crew in 1st operational mission for NASA | LIVE

NASA and SpaceX are set to launch an operational crew of astronauts to the International Space Station on Sunday in the first operational mission using the Crew Dragon capsule.

Four astronauts, three Americans and Soichi Noguchi of Japan, will board the "Resilience," set atop a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket and lift off at approximately 7:27 p.m. ET on Sunday from Cape Canaveral in Florida.

The roughly eight-hour flight will be SpaceX's first operational mission, as opposed to the numerous tests that have taken place over the years, ending a nearly 10-year development phase for SpaceX under the agency's public-private crew program.
