Lt. Col. Raja J. Chari, CO Z ’99, is preparing for a space station launch set for Halloween. He was selected by NASA to join the 2017 Astronaut Candidate Class and, after training, served as the Director of the Joint Test Team for the NASA Commercial Crew Program. The crew will be carrying several hundreds of experiments intended to support NASA’s goal to return humans to the moon! We wish Lt. Col. Chari and the crew of the ‘Endurance’ a safe journey on his SpaceX mission! To read more about the mission, visit: space.com/spacex-nasa-crew-3-halloween-launch-to-space-station
