SpaceX’s Falcon rocket launched the four astronauts onboard its reusable Dragon 2 spacecraft from the Kennedy Space Center around 30 minutes past midnight E.T.

The Crew-6 mission is carrying two NASA astronauts, Stephen Bowen and Warren Hoburg, Russian cosmonaut Andrei Fedyaev and Emirati astronaut Sultan al-Neyadi.

Al-Neyadi is only the second person from the UAE to take part in a space mission after Hazza Al Mansouri and he is also the first Arab astronaut set for an extended stay onboard the ISS.

Thursday’s launch is the fourth spaceflight for the reusable Dragon 2 spacecraft known as Endeavour.

The four astronauts will take over from the members of the Crew-5 mission who are currently onboard the ISS and are set to fly back to Earth later this month.

Al-Neyadi, who is set to stay on board the ISS for several months បាននិយាយ he may try to fast “on some days” during the Muslim holy month of Ramadan if the schedule allows. The Emirati astronaut, however, noted all travelers like him are exempt from the obligation.

The crewed launch was originally scheduled to take place early on Monday but had to be បានបិទ just minutes before liftoff due to an issue with the Falcon 9 rocket’s ignition fluid. Aside from the four members of the Crew-5 mission the ISS is currently also hosting two Russian cosmonauts and one American astronaut whose stay has been extended due to a fault in the Russian-made Soyuz capsule that was set to fly them back. A replacement Soyuz craft arrived at the space station late last week.
