Multinational Crew-5 Astronauts Successfully Dock to ISS via SpaceX's Falcon 9

In a historic demonstration of international cooperation, NASA astronauts Nicole Mann and Josh Cassada, JAXA's Koichi Wakata, and Roscosmos’ Anna Kikina have successfully completed their journey to the International Space Station via the SpaceX Crew-5 mission, launching from NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The Falcon 9 rocket and Crew Dragon Endurance spacecraft facilitated the operation, marking the sixth time SpaceX has flown astronauts for NASA since 2020. The mission is notably SpaceX's fifth operational crew launch, and eighth human spaceflight in just over two years, intensifying its growing imprint on global aerospace ventures.
