Once aboard the International Space Station, the Crew-10 members will conduct new scientific research to prepare for human exploration beyond low Earth orbit and benefit humanity on Earth. The crew is scheduled to conduct material flammability tests for future spacecraft designs, engage with students via ham radio and use its existing hardware to test a backup lunar navigation solution, and participate in an integrated study to better understand physiological and psychological changes to the human body to provide valuable insights for future deep space missions.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/plus.nasa.gov\/scheduled-video\/nasas-spacex-crew-10-launch\/\" rel=\"noopener\">Watch the launch live on NASA+.<\/a> Coverage begins at 3:45 p.m. EDT on March 12, 2025, with launch scheduled for 7:48 p.m. EDT.<\/p>\n<p><em>Image credit: SpaceX<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket with the company\u2019s Dragon spacecraft on top is seen during sunrise on the launch pad at NASA\u2019s Kennedy Space Center in Florida on Tuesday, March 11, 2025, ahead of the agency\u2019s SpaceX Crew-10 launch.
