Update for Aug. 25: SpaceX and NASA have delayed the launch of the Crew-7 astronaut mission to the International Space Station to Saturday, Aug. 26, at 3:27 a.m. EDT (0727 GMT). The livestream will begin on Friday at 11:30 p.m. (EDT 0330 GMT). Follow the mission with our LIVE LAUNCH UPDATES.

The second Iranian-American in space joins a fully international crew readying for launch Friday (Aug. 25).

The SpaceX Crew-7 mission will launch to the International Space Station no earlier than Saturday (Aug. 26) at 3:27 a.m. EDT (0727 GMT) and you can watch live here at Space.com, via a feed from NASA Television. The broadcast will begin Friday (Aug. 25) at 11:45 p.m. EDT (0345 GMT Friday, Aug. 26).

Crew-7 passed its flight readiness review with no major issues, NASA officials said in late-night update Thursday (Aug. 24). Weather conditions also look good for launch, with only a 15% probability of violating weather constraints, according to Patrick Space Force Base, which manages the airspace in the region of the launch site at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida.

Four astronauts will head to space for Expeditions 69/70: NASA astronaut Jasmin Moghbeli, the second Iranian-American in space; European Space Agency (ESA) astronaut Andreas Mogensen; Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) astronaut Satoshi Furukawa; and Konstantin Borisov of Russia's space agency, Roscosmos.

On edit:
There are shots of the astronauts sitting in their seats waiting for lift-off. Haven't seen that in other occassions. Interesting. You can back up the filming for 4 hours by searching for the red line at the bottom of the screen and pushing the curser back toward the left as far as you'd like with your mouse.
