NASA is holding a special briefing and Q&A session for NASA Social participants, including our own James Brierton, at 4:30 ET.

\\n

NASA\\u2019s SpaceX Crew-6 mission is the sixth crew rotation mission with SpaceX to the space station, and the seventh flight of Dragon with humans aboard. The mission is targeted to launch no earlier than 1:45 a.m. EST Monday, Feb. 27, on SpaceX\\u2019s Dragon spacecraft \\u2013 named Endeavour \\u2013 atop the company\\u2019s Falcon 9 rocket from Launch Complex 39A at Kennedy. Mission operations teams will be closely monitoring the weather leading up to liftoff.

\\n

After docking, the Crew-6 crewmates will be welcomed inside the station by the seven-member crew of Expedition 68. Following a handover on the space station with Crew-6, NASA\\u2019s SpaceX Crew-5 crew members will undock from the space station.

\\n

The NASA SpaceX trip comes at the same time  Russia prepares to launch a passengerless Soyuz MS-23 crew ship at 7:24 p.m. EST Thursday from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan on a two-day trek to the space station. Besides delivering provisions for the crew, the Soyuz MS-23 spacecraft will return NASA astronaut Frank Rubio and cosmonauts Sergey Prokopyev and Dmitri Petelin back to Earth later this year. Those three men are awaiting a new spacecraft because their previous craft, Soyuz MS-22, suffered a depressurization issue that made it not idle for human spaceflight back to Earth.
