SpaceX on Saturday announced the launch of the new crew of four astronauts bound for the International Space Station (ISS).
Dubbed Crew-7, the mission is commanded by American Jasmin Moghbeli and includes Andreas Mogensen of Denmark, Satoshi Furukawa of Japan, and Konstantin Borisov of Russia.
Here are the Crew-7 astronauts:
The liftoff for this crew meant UAE astronaut Sultan AlNeyadi's return to Earth will be happening soon.
In a previous interview, Dubai's space authorities said once Crew-7 launches, "it could be a week to 10 days before Sultan returns".
Nasa earlier said AlNeyadi and his Crew-6 colleagues will return to Earth "no earlier than September 1".
