NASA and SpaceX Crew-10 Launch

NASA is on the brink of an exciting event as it prepares for its tenth rotational mission in collaboration with SpaceX. The Crew-10 mission will utilize a Falcon 9 rocket and a Dragon spacecraft to transport astronauts to the International Space Station (ISS) for a scientific expedition. For the first time, the Crew-10 event will allow media from across the globe to witness this groundbreaking launch scheduled for March 12, 2025, from the historic Launch Complex 39A at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida.

The mission will showcase an international crew, made up of seasoned space travelers and first-time astronauts. Leading this mission as commander is NASA astronaut Anne McClain, while Nichole Ayers takes on the role of pilot. The mission specialists include Takuya Onishi from the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) and Kirill Peskov representing Roscosmos, the Russian space agency. Notably, this mission marks the maiden spaceflight for both Ayers and Peskov. Meanwhile, McClain and Onishi are returning for their second journey to the orbiting laboratory.

Media accreditation is crucial for those wishing to cover this spectacular event. There are particular deadlines for media representatives to ensure their participation:

• - International media without U.S. citizenship must submit their applications by February 13, 2025, at 11:59 p.m. EST.
• - U.S. media working for international organizations and U.S. citizens need to apply by February 23, 2025, at the same hour.

Interested parties should visit NASA's media accreditation page for complete guidelines.
