NASA announces to send manned space missions ten years later

NASA has announced that it will be sending its space mission to the US mainland next month after a break of nearly ten years.

The rocket and its spacecraft will depart Florida's Kennedy Space Center on May 27 and take two astronauts to the International Space Center (ISS).

Both the rocket and the spacecraft were developed by private company SpaceX.


Since retiring in its space shuttle in 2011, NASA has been using Russian rockets for space-based missions.

If this mission succeeds, SpaceX, the billionaire businessman Elon Musk, will be the first private company to send NASA astronauts into space.

this latest mission, astronauts Bob Bunken and Doug Hurley will leave for ISS.

The Falcon Nine rocket and the Crew Dragon spacecraft will depart from the Kennedy Space Center's historic launchpad 39A, where Apollo and other shuttle missions have flown in the past.

On this latest mission, astronauts Bob Bunken and Doug Hurley will depart for the ISS where they arrive in 24 hours.

At the International Space Station, there is one American astronaut and two Russian cosmonauts.
