The Crew-7 mission is the seventh crew rotation mission to the space station under NASA's Commercial Crew Program. The astronauts will spend about six months on the space station, conducting research and experiments in a variety of fields, including biology, physics, and medicine. They will also help to maintain the space station and prepare it for future missions.

The Crew-7 launch is currently scheduled for 3:49 AM EDT on August 25. You can watch the launch live on NASA TV, NASA.gov, the NASA app, and on social media (@NASA).

Here are some of the research activities that the Crew-7 astronauts will be conducting on the space station:

Studying the effects of microgravity on human health
Developing new technologies for future space exploration
Conducting experiments in biology, physics, and medicine
Maintaining the space station and preparing it for future missions
The Crew-7 mission is a critical part of NASA's efforts to continue the long-term human presence in space. The astronauts will help to ensure that the space station remains a safe and productive environment for scientific research and exploration.
