The American Space Exploration Technology Corporation's “Dragon” spacecraft took off on October 1 with 4 astronauts to begin a manned mission to the International Space Station. The “Dragon” spacecraft was launched from the Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida aboard the “Falcon 9” rocket at 11:10 ET on the 1st. Afterwards, the spacecraft separated from the rocket and continued to fly to the International Space Station. According to the plan, the “Dragon” spacecraft will fly for about 8 hours before docking with the International Space Station. This mission, codenamed “Manned 13,” is the 13th time that the manned Dragon spacecraft has carried out a mission to transport rotating astronauts to the International Space Station. The four astronauts aboard the spacecraft were NASA astronauts Jessica Watkins and Luke Delaney, Canadian Space Agency astronaut Joshua Kutrick, and Russian National Space Group astronaut Sergei Tetelyanikov.
