SpaceX's Crew completes the International Space Station mission in 15 hours, carrying astronauts from the US, Japan, and Russia.

A SpaceX capsule launched to the International Space Station (ISS) on Friday, 1 August, as the orbiting laboratory celebrates 25 years of continuous human occupancy. Three astronauts and one cosmonaut in the US-Japanese-Russian crew rocketed from NASA's Kennedy Space Center.

On May 27, the ninth test lifted off at Vandenberg Space Force Base in California. While the vehicle successfully reached the Earth's orbit, an apparent propellant leak caused a loss of altitude. According to ABC News, the spacecraft began spinning and mission control could no longer control it.
