Next ISS Crew Ready for Launch Wednesday Morning
Preparations remain on target for the launch of three new crew members for the International Space Station (ISS) on Wednesday, December 21, at 8:16 am EST.
Three men — one each from the United States, Russia and the Netherlands — are scheduled to blast off from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan aboard the Soyuz TMA-03M spacecraft at that hour (7:16 pm local time at Baikonur). If all goes according to plan, they will dock with the ISS two days later, joining the three crew members already aboard and restoring the ISS to its usual six-person crew complement.
NASA TV plans to cover the launch live beginning at 5:45 am EST.
