SpaceX Crew-7 is planned to be the seventh crewed operational NASA Commercial Crew flight of a Crew Dragon spacecraft, and the thirteenth overall crewed orbital flight. The mission is planned for launch in September 2023. The Crew-7 mission would transport four crew members to the International Space Station (ISS). As of March 2022[update], three NASA astronauts have been assigned to the mission, with one more international astronaut to be named later. The two NASA astronauts are Andreas Mogensen and Warren Hoburg. However, continued international collaboration on ISS missions has been thrown into doubt by the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine and related sanctions on Russia.[1]
