Caribou’s Jessica Meir and three other astronauts onboard the SpaceX Crew-12 mission launched from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida this morning bound for the International Space Station. It’s Meir’s second trip to the ISS since becoming a NASA astronaut in 2013. 

The crew, led by Meir as spacecraft commander, is traveling aboard a SpaceX Dragon spacecraft and Falcon 9 rocket. 

It’s expected to take between 16 and 24 hours for the spacecraft to reach the station.
