The latest SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket to blast off from Florida's Space Coast will be carrying a crew of four international astronauts preparing for a two-week mission in orbit.
Following liftoff and a brief voyage through outer space, the astronauts selected for a private mission known as Axiom Mission 4 are due to spend about 14 days at the International Space Station. There, they will conduct dozens of science experiments before departing for a water landing off the coast of California.
The mission, known as Ax-4, is the latest in a series of human spaceflights in partnership with both NASA and SpaceX.
What also makes Ax-4 notable is that it is the first time in more than 40 years that India, Poland and Hungary have had a crew member from their respective nations on a government-sponsored spaceflight. The upcoming spaceflight is also each nation's first-ever mission to the space station.
Here's what to know about the upcoming launch, as well as how to watch a livestream of the SpaceX rocket get off the ground from Cape Canaveral, Florida:
