NASA will send the ISS crew on a reusable spacecraft and rocket for the first time
The head of the NASA manned flight program, Katie Luders, said that next week, for the first time, a reusable spacecraft will be used for a manned launch to the International Space Station, RIA Novosti reports.
“For the first time, we will be using both a reusable capsule and a reusable first stage,” she said.
Earlier it was reported that on April 22, the Crew Dragon spacecraft will launch to the ISS on a Falcon 9 launch vehicle.
Earlier it was reported that the Russian cosmonauts sealed three more possible air leaks on board the International Space Station with sealant.
Recall that the first crack in the intermediate chamber of the Zvezda module was discovered in October last year. Then the “Roskosmos” said that it does not threaten the station and the crew. Later, a second crack was found in the module.
