NASA has announced the crew for SpaceX Crew-14, a future rotation flight to the International Space Station. Four people from three space agencies will make up the crew, and launch is planned no earlier than spring 2027.
NASA astronaut Kayla Barron will command the spacecraft, and fellow NASA astronaut Chris Birch will serve as pilot. Makoto Suwa of the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) and a Roscosmos cosmonaut will fill the other two seats.
According to NASA, the crew will spend a long-duration expedition aboard the orbiting laboratory, working mainly on scientific research. The mission continues the regular crew rotations flown on SpaceX Crew Dragon spacecraft under NASA's Commercial Crew Program.
