Crew-9 , the ninth operational SpaceX astronaut launch to the International Space Station , is set to launch on Sept. 28 for a half-year mission.

But they will fly with only two astronauts instead of four ; the other two seats needed to be reserved for two NASA astronauts on the ISS right now.

The crew shuffle took place in August after NASA and Boeing together spent months examining the troubled Starliner spacecraft.

Gorbunov is a former engineer with RSC Energia who is well-versed in development challenges.

He says his past job gave him experience in how different vehicle systems operate.

"Knowing one spacecraft really well, you can kind of propagate that knowledge on doing the next".
