International Space Station Is About To Get Crowded, And It s Running Out Of Beds

Listen • 3:30 The International Space Station is larger than a football field. But with 11 people soon to be aboard, there aren t enough places for them all to sleep. The International Space Station might be bigger than a football field, but it s equipped with just seven permanent sleeping pods, each about the size of a phone booth. NASA has to get creative for those rare times when there are more people than beds. When the four new crew members arrive, they ll join seven already on board. Two astronauts will have to sleep in the docked SpaceX capsules. And that leaves two others without beds but that s not a problem. The nice thing about sleeping in space is that just about anywhere can be your bedroom, said NASA spokesman Dan Huot.

SpaceX Crew-2 launch: start time, live stream, and how to watch the flight

SpaceX is slated to launch its third crew to the International Space Station early Friday morning, ferrying two astronauts from NASA, one from the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency, and the first European Space Agency astronaut to fly a private US spacecraft to orbit. The four-person crew will launch atop SpaceX’s Falcon 9 rocket at 5:49AM ET on Friday. The mission, dubbed Crew-2, marks the second operational mission under the Commercial Crew Program, NASA’s public-private initiative to revive its human spaceflight capabilities after a 10-year dependence on Russian rockets. It will mark the first time NASA astronauts fly a reused crew capsule Crew-2’s ride first flew in May 2020 as SpaceX’s first astronaut mission, carrying Bob Behnken and Doug Hurley.

SpaceX Crew-2 Launch: Flight to ISS Postponed by One Day Due to Weather

Sleepover party Elon Musk s SpaceX has established itself as NASA s favoured transportation provider under the Commercial Crew Program, as the agency waits on Boeing s troubled Starliner capsule to carry out key tests. Both companies have multibillion dollar contracts with NASA. SpaceX s first crewed test flight in May 2020 ended nine years of American reliance on Russian rockets for rides to the ISS following the demise of the Space Shuttle programme. The four astronauts will overlap for four days with the crew of Crew-1 before that team returns from its six-month mission. With three Russians on board, the station is set to become unusually crowded, accommodating 11 people.
