SpaceX was back one day after a weather-related scrub and threaded the needle amid threatening clouds to send up the Crew-11 mission to the International Space Station.

Crew-11 will send NASA astronauts Zena Cardman and Mike Fincke, along with Kimiya Yui of JAXA (the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency) and cosmonaut Oleg Platonov to the ISS for a roughly six-month stay. Cardman is the mission's commander, Fincke is the pilot and Yui and Platonov are mission specialists.

Following a weather scrub, SpaceX launched NASA's Crew-11 from Kennedy Space Center Pad 39A. The liftoff occurred 11:43 a.m. August 1.
