The crew flying on NASA's SpaceX Crew-6 mission to the International Space Station (ISS) have arrived at Kennedy Space Center in the southeastern U.S. state of Florida to prepare for their flight on Sunday, Feb. 26, NASA said on Tuesday.

The liftoff is targeted for 2:07 a.m. Eastern Time on Feb. 26 from Launch Complex 39A at Kennedy Space Center.

The mission is NASA's sixth crew rotation mission with SpaceX to the space station, and the seventh flight of Dragon spacecraft with humans aboard.

The Crew-6 mission will carry NASA astronauts Stephen Bowen and Warren "Woody" Hoburg, as well as United Arab Emirates astronaut Sultan Alneyadi and Roscosmos cosmonaut Andrey Fedyaev to the orbital outpost.

The crew will dock the space station's Harmony module on Monday at 2:54 a.m. Eastern Time, beginning a six-month space research mission, according to NASA.
