She’s the only NASA astronaut on the crew but has never been to space before.

The other crew members include a Japanese astronaut, a Russian cosmonaut and an astronaut with the European Space Agency.

The crew is set to spend six months on the space station doing experiments.

Liftoff for Crew-7 is currently set for Friday at 3:49 a.m.
