SpaceX and NASA are scheduled to send four astronauts to the International Space Station aboard the Crew-4 spacecraft for a six-month stay aboard the orbiting outpost.
Liftoff atop a Falcon 9 rocket in a Crew Dragon spacecraft is expected to occur from Launch Complex 39A at Kennedy Space Center in Florida.
Aboard the spacecraft is expected to be NASA astronauts Kjell Lindgren, Bob Hines and Jessica Watkins as well as European Space Agency astronaut Samantha Cristoforetti.
Orbital Velocity is designed to be "living time capsule" about the International Space Station.
This project is an attempt to bridge an information gap between space agencies and companies, as well as a public that supports space endeavors with their tax dollars. Despite the importance of the space station, the general public doesn't always know what is happening aboard this amazing complex on a regular basis. Research being conducted isn't always readily available and what information is out there can sometimes be difficult to understand. Some people aren't even aware there is an active space program, let alone a space station.
Orbital Velocity hopes to change that by building a database of information through blogs, a website, small videos and longer documentary-like series'.
