SpaceX’s Crew-8 mission is set to send four people to the International Space Station for a six-month stay aboard the orbiting laboratory.
Liftoff will occur atop a Falcon 9 rocket from Launch Complex 39A at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida.
Aboard will be NASA astronauts Matthew Dominick, Michael Barratt, Jeanette Epps and Russian cosmonaut Alexander Grebenkin. It will take about a day for the Crew Dragon spacecraft to reach the outpost.
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'.
