The Crew-2 mission was introduced on April 23 on a Falcon rocket from NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The crew stayed for 198 days in the space station and finished 3,194 orbits across our planet. Crew 2 has been involved in maintenance activities, scientific research, and technology demonstrations throughout the mission. Not only that, but they also organized a public engagement activity while orbiting the laboratory. They also examined how gaseous flames worked in microgravity and grew chilies in the station. They also took many pictures of Earth. This mission remains one of the longest-running investigations aboard the space station. The launch of NASA’s SpaceX Crew-3 mission is expected to launch on November 10 for six months.
