The launch of SpaceX’s Crew Dragon capsule to the International Space Station on May 30th marked
the first time that NASA astronauts took off from U.S. soil since 2011. The event also represented
the first time a commercially designed and built spacecraft carried astronauts, an achievement that
SpaceX and Boeing have vied for for years under NASA’s Commercial Crew Program.

Cameras outside the International Space Station captured views of Tropical Storm Laura from approximately
250 miles above. The space station passed directly over the tropical system on Sunday, August 23, prior to
the storm making landfall on Cuba. The National Hurricane Center is projecting Laura to strengthen into a
hurricane once in the Gulf of Mexico, with landfall expected on the U.S. Gulf Coast later this week.
