Crew-4 will launch from right over Pad 39-A, the same spot where the first private mission to the ISS lifted off last week. NASA’s fourth operational mission to ISS under its Commercial Crew program was adjusted to give mission teams time to complete final prelaunch processing for the Crew-4 mission following the April 8 launch of Axiom Mission 1, the first all-private astronaut mission to the ISS. The flight readiness review for Crew-4 is scheduled for Friday.
