NASA astronaut Mark Vande Hei is set to lift off aboard the Soyuz MS-18 spacecraft on an April 9 mission to the International Space Station (ISS).
Speaking with Fox News last week, the 54-year-old said his team had completed the final examinations for activities on both the Soyuz MS-18 and the ISS. Vande Hei noted that COVID-19 has had a "big impact" on the astronauts' training, from wearing masks around others to making sure the virus is not carried up to the space station.More Related News
