The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) is ready to launch two American astronauts to the International Space Station (ISS) on May 27 from Florida's Launch Complex 39A.

NASA, in collaboration with SpaceX, dubbed ‘Launch America’, has given the final "go" and the launch is scheduled for 04:33 PM EDT (2:03 AM IST) on Wednesday.

A SpaceX Crew Dragon spacecraft will be flying the astronauts to the ISS with the help of the Falcon 9 rocket.

This Crew Demo-2 mission is going to create history due to the fact that for the first time launch of astronauts on an American rocket from American soil since will take place, last space shuttle mission being in 2011.

"SpaceX and @NASA completed a full rehearsal of launch day activities with @AstroBehnken and @Astro_Doug ahead of Crew Demo-2," SpaceX tweeted.

NASA also took to Twitter and said: "A new era of human spaceflight begins this week"
