Japan astronaut Yui heads to ISS on SpaceX craft on 2nd space mission
A team of astronauts from Japan, Russia and the United States headed to the International Space Station aboard a SpaceX craft from Florida on Friday, marking the second space flight for Japanese astronaut Kimiya Yui.
Yui, a 55-year-old Nagano Prefecture native and former Air Self-Defense Force pilot, previously stayed at the ISS between July and December 2015, and was responsible for the docking of an unmanned supply craft developed by Japan. The Crew-11 mission comprises Yui of the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency, Zena Cardman and Mike Fincke of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, as well as Roscosmos cosmonaut Oleg Platonov. Among other things, Yui will participate in a test of carbon dioxide removal technology necessary for Gateway, a space station that will orbit the Moon under the U.S.-led Artemis lunar exploration program.
