The three-man one-woman crew plans to spend at least six months and possibly longer aboard the International Space Station.

NASA and SpaceX's Crew-11 mission is made up of two U.S. astronauts, one from Japan and a Russian cosmonaut. They'll be aboard the International Space Station for six months conducting research.

On May 27, the ninth test lifted off at Vandenberg Space Force Base in California. While the vehicle successfully reached the Earth's orbit, an apparent propellant leak caused a loss of altitude. According to ABC News, the spacecraft began spinning and mission control could no longer control it.
