The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and SpaceX are getting ready to launch NASA's first operational crewed mission to the International Space Station (ISS) next week. This mission will fly four astronauts to the orbiting body as part of NASA's Commercial Crew Program (CCP) responsible for resuming manned spaceflights from American soil. It will use SpaceX's Crew Dragon spacecraft – an iteration of the company's Cargo Dragon developed under another NASA program. The spacecraft reached NASA's facilities in Florida yesterday revealed the agency through a blog post today, and it will be joined by its crew on Sunday.
