WASHINGTON, March 14, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Four crew members of NASA’s SpaceX Crew-10 mission launched at 7:03 p.m. EDT Friday from Launch Complex 39A at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida for a science expedition aboard the International Space Station.

A SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket propelled the Dragon spacecraft into orbit carrying NASA astronauts Anne McClain and Nichole Ayers, JAXA (Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency) astronaut Takuya Onishi, and Roscosmos cosmonaut Kirill Peskov. The spacecraft will dock autonomously to the forward-facing port of the station’s Harmony module at approximately 11:30 p.m. on Saturday, March 15. Shortly after docking, the crew will join Expedition 72/73 for a long-duration stay aboard the orbiting laboratory.

“Congratulations to our NASA and SpaceX teams on the 10th crew rotation mission under our commercial crew partnership. This milestone demonstrates NASA’s continued commitment to advancing American leadership in space and driving growth in our national space economy,” said NASA acting Administrator Janet Petro. “Through these missions, we are laying the foundation for future exploration, from low Earth orbit to the Moon and Mars. Our international crew will contribute to innovative science research and technology development, delivering benefits to all humanity.”

During Dragon’s flight, SpaceX will monitor a series of automatic spacecraft maneuvers from its mission control center in Hawthorne, California. NASA will monitor space station operations throughout the flight from the Mission Control Center at the agency’s Johnson Space Center in Houston.

NASA’s live coverage resumes at 9:45 p.m., March 15, on NASA+ with rendezvous, docking, and hatching opening. After docking, the crew will change out of their spacesuits and prepare cargo for offload before opening the hatch between Dragon and the space station’s Harmony module around 1:05 a.m., Sunday, March 16. Once the new crew is aboard the orbital outpost, NASA will broadcast welcome remarks from Crew-10 and farewell remarks from the agency’s SpaceX Crew-9 crew, beginning at about 1:40 a.m.

The number of crew aboard the space station will increase to 11 for a short time as Crew-10 joins NASA astronauts Nick Hague, Suni Williams, Butch Wilmore, and Don Pettit, as well as Roscosmos cosmonauts Aleksandr Gorbunov, Alexey Ovchinin, and Ivan Vagner. Following a brief handover period, Hague, Williams, Wilmore, and Gorbunov will return to Earth no earlier than Wednesday, March 19.Ahead of Crew-9’s departure from station, mission teams will review weather conditions at the splashdown sites off the coast of Florida. 

During their mission, Crew-10 is scheduled to conduct material flammability tests to contribute to future spacecraft and facility designs. The crew will engage with students worldwide via the ISS Ham Radio program and use the program’s existing hardware to test a backup lunar navigation solution. The astronauts also will serve as test subjects, with one crew member conducting an integrated study to better understand physiological and psychological changes to the human body to provide valuable insights for future deep space missions.

With this mission, NASA continues to maximize the use of the orbiting laboratory, where people have lived and worked continuously for more than 24 years, testing technologies, performing science, and developing the skills needed to operate future commercial destinations in low Earth orbit and explore farther from our home planet. Research conducted at the space station benefits people on Earth and paves the way for future long-duration missions to the Moon under NASA’s Artemis campaign and beyond.

LOS ANGELES, March 14, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — CASEKOO recently hosted an enchanting “Tarot and Tea” soirée in Sai Wan, Hong Kong, to celebrate the grand launch of its collaborative collection, The Luminous Enigma series. This exquisite line of four phone cases, crafted in partnership with COCORRINA and renowned Tarot Reader Peter, draws inspiration from the celestial symbolism of the Sun and Moon tarot cards. The event welcomed passersby with open arms, offering each guest a comforting cup of spiced apple cinnamon tea upon entering the park. While many attendees were newcomers to the world of tarot, they were captivated by the intricate designs of the phone cases and the mystical allure of tarot itself. CASEKOO also unveiled the stories behind the collection, sharing the profound insights and intentions the designers imbued into each piece, hoping to inspire those who carry these cases to connect with their deeper meanings.

The Helios and Celene cases were born from the breathtaking beauty of Kefalonia, an island that holds deep personal significance for Corina, the visionary designer behind COCORRINA. Each morning, she finds herself nourished by the Sun’s radiant energy, feeling a harmonious connection with the natural world. By night, she is guided by the Moon’s gentle glow and the vast expanse of the sky, navigating life’s ebbs and flows with grace. Through these meticulously crafted cases, Corina invites consumers to experience the celestial wonders that illuminate her daily life, offering a glimpse into her world with every creation.

Meanwhile, the Illuminating Sunlight and Midnight Moonlight designs were inspired by Tarot Reader Peter’s profound connection to the Sun’s boundless warmth and the Moon’s quiet magic. The phrase “Let the sun shine heal you” encapsulates the Sun’s restorative power, encouraging resilience and positivity in the face of life’s challenges. Conversely, the Moon-inspired designs whisper “Embrace the Unknown,” a gentle reminder to trust one’s intuition, while “You look so beautiful tonight” celebrates the profound beauty found in darkness and the depths of emotion. Each piece in the collection pays homage to the enchanting interplay between the Sun’s life-giving energy and the Moon’s captivating mystique, offering a timeless connection to the cosmos and its profound duality.

Both designers, Corina and Peter, wish for more people to experience the breathtaking and awe-inspiring sights of the sun and moon that they cherish. They hope that whoever carries these cases will be enveloped in the sun’s positive energy and drawn to the moon’s enchanting gravity, finding inspiration and balance in their celestial harmony. Together, CASEKOO hopes that the owners of these cases will embrace the beauty of tarot, feeling their mysterious power and carrying it with them wherever they go.
