The three-man one-woman crew plans to spend at least six months and possibly longer aboard the International Space Station.

On August 1, SpaceX launched its 11th crew rotation for NASA. The four will spend six to eight months on the International Space Station.

NASA and SpaceX's Crew-11 mission is made up of two U.S. astronauts, one from Japan and a Russian cosmonaut. They'll be aboard the International Space Station for six months conducting research.
