A crew of international astronauts is set to take off Wednesday at 7:48 p.m. ET from Kennedy Space Center in Florida .

Crew-10 will take the reins from NASA ’s Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams .

Williams and Wilmore have been in space since last June when they piloted the inaugural crewed test flight of Boeing 's Starliner .

The missions have become the focus of public controversy involving claims by President Trump and Elon Musk .

The decision to keep Williams and Wilmore on the ISS was made as part of NASA ’s efforts to keep the space station fully staffed.

It allowed the veteran astronauts to step in and aid day-to-day activity on the orbiting lab.

The space agency seeks to keep at least four representatives from the US and its partner countries on board the ISS at all times.
