A Dragon spacecraft lifted off from Florida on Saturday and is set to bring home two astronauts who've been stuck on the International Space Station for months.

Space Launch Complex 40 is located just south of Kennedy Space Center. Once the Crew-9 duo launched, the Falcon 9 rocket traveled on a northeast trajectory, carrying their SpaceX Dragon, named Freedom, on a path to meet up with the International Space Station.

NASA's Crew-9, carrying an American astronaut and a Russian cosmonaut, lifted off into clouds at 1:17 p.m. EDT in the SpaceX Dragon Freedom from Cape Canaveral Launch Complex 40 on their way to a five-month mission at the International Space Station.

The NASA Plus web site; the agency's YouTube channel; and NASA's live stream page are your best bets for watching the launch, but you can be sure SpaceX will also be posting updates and streams. The live webcast of the launch will begin an hour prior to liftoff.

Crew-9 is NASA's next astronaut rotation aboard the International Space Station, and the 10th overall flight of NASA astronauts by SpaceX — including Demo-2 and Crews 1-9. SpaceX flies NASA astronaut crews to the space station as part of NASA's Commercial Crew Program.

NASA and SpaceX target Saturday for the launch of the Crew-9 mission, which will bring home stranded ISS astronauts.
