The Crew-6 mission will carry NASA astronauts Stephen Bowen and Warren Hoburg as well as UAE (United Arab Emirates) astronaut Sultan Alneyadi, and Roscosmos cosmonaut Andrey Fedyaev.
This comes months after Crew-5 launched from Kennedy Space Center, after being delayed by Hurricane Ian.
That launched marked the first time in 20 years that a Russian cosmonaut rocketed from the U.S.
