Astronauts are set to launch to the International Space Station as part of the NASA and SpaceX Crew-13 mission after weeks of delays. This mission is exciting for sky-watchers because it involves a team of experienced and new astronauts working together on a six-month mission. The launch, scheduled for October 1, will be a notable event to look up, with the SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket taking off from the Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida. Sky-watchers can plan to catch a glimpse of the rocket's ascent on the morning of the launch.
