This week we look forward to the launch of the first crew rotation mission on the SpaceX Crew Dragon to the International Space Station as part of NASA's commercial crew program. NASA astronauts Michael Hopkins, Victor Glover and Shannon Walker along with Soichi Noguchi of JAXA will launch on Space x’s falcon 9 rocket and crew dragon spacecraft which has been named Resilience for this mission.


We also look back at Emily's trip to the U.S. Rocket and Space Center in Huntsville to find out what she learnt.
