Astronaut\u00a0Satoshi Furukawa\u00a0from JAXA (Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency) has been selected as a mission specialist for NASA\u2019s SpaceX Crew-7 mission \u2013 the agency\u2019s seventh rotational mission to the International Space Station.<\/p>\n

Furukawa joins NASA astronaut\u00a0Jasmin Moghbeli<\/a>\u00a0and ESA (European Space Agency) astronaut\u00a0Andreas Mogensen<\/a>, who will serve as spacecraft commander and pilot, respectively. An additional crew member will be assigned at a later date.<\/p>\n

Furukawa spent 165 days aboard the orbiting laboratory in 2011 as a flight engineer with Expeditions 28 and 29. As part of his duties, he helped support the final space shuttle mission, STS-135.<\/p>\n

This will be the first spaceflight for Moghbeli, who became a NASA astronaut in 2017, and the first long-duration mission for Mogensen. He previously served as a flight engineer on a 10-day mission to the space station in 2015. Crew-7 will be his second trip to space.<\/p>\n

NASA and SpaceX are targeting no earlier than mid-August for the launch of Crew-7, aboard a SpaceX Dragon spacecraft and Falcon 9 rocket from Launch Complex 39A at NASA\u2019s Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The four astronauts will join an expedition crew aboard the space station.<\/p>\n
