\n NASA announced on Tuesday the astronauts who will fly aboard the SpaceX Crew-2 mission to the International Space Station next spring.<\/p>\n

Two of the astronauts are American: Shane Kimbrough and Megan McArthur. Akihiko Hoshide is from Japan\u2019s Aerospace Exploration Agency, and Thomas Pesquet, of France, is from the European Space Agency (ESA).<\/p>\n

SpaceX made history at the end of May when it launched NASA astronauts Doug Hurley and Bob Behnken toward the ISS on the SpaceX Demo-2 test flight mission \u2013 the first time astronauts blasted off from American soil since the end of the space shuttle program almost a decade ago.<\/p>\n

That SpaceX Crew Dragon flight was the first time a private company, rather than a government, sent astronauts into orbit. They are scheduled to return to Earth on Sunday<\/p>\n

Behnken, who commanded the Demo-2 mission, is married to McArthur, who will pilot the Crew-2 mission. In between, there is also a Crew-1 mission scheduled to launch in late September.<\/p>\n

McArthur, who was born in Hawaii but calls California her home state, has one prior trip<\/a> to space under her belt, according to NASA. She launched with the space shuttle Atlantis on a mission to the Hubble Space Telescope in 2009.<\/p>\n

Kimbrough, a retired Army colonel born in Texas and raised in Atlanta, will be the mission\u2019s spacecraft commander. It will be his third trip to space and second long-term stay aboard the space station. He has already logged 189 days in space and has blasted off aboard both the retired space shuttle Endeavour in 2008 and a Russian Soyuz rocket in 2016.<\/p>\n

The Crew-2 mission will be the third spaceflight for Hoshide, who was part of the STS-124 mission aboard the Discovery in 2008 and whose most recent launch included a 124-day stay aboard the ISS in 2012.<\/p>\n

Pesquet, the youngest member of the crew at age 42, is also the only one never to have taken part on a mission under the now-retired U.S. space shuttle program. But he\u2019s already spent 196 days in space.<\/p>\n

The Crew-2 astronauts are expected to stay aboard the space station for about six months alongside three other crew members who will arrive separately on a Russian Soyuz. That makes for a seven-person crew, rather than the usual six, which NASA said will allow twice as much research to be performed during their stay.<\/p>\n
