Bonohe ba linaleli ba NASA Stephen Bowen le Woody Hoburg ba tla sebetsa joalo ka molaoli oa sepakapaka le mofofisi oa sefofane, ka ho latellana, bakeng sa thomo. Balekane ba machaba ba setsi ba tla abela litho tse ling tsa basebetsi e le litsebi tsa boromuoa nakong e tlang.

Morero o lebelletsoe ho qala ka 2023 ka rokete ea Falcon 9 ho tloha Launch Complex 39A ho NASA's Kennedy Space Center e Florida. Bowen, Hoburg, le litho tsa basebetsi ba machabeng ba tla kenela sehlopha sa maeto se palameng seteishene sa sepakapaka.

Lena e tla be e le leeto la bone la Bowen sebakeng e le mokaubere oa mesebetsi e meraro ea sepakapaka: STS-126 ka 2008, STS-132 ka 2010, le STS-133 ka 2011. Bowen o kentse matsatsi a fetang 40 sebakeng, ho kenyeletsoa lihora tse 47, Metsotso e 18 nakong ea maeto a sepaka-pakeng a supileng. O hlahetse Cohasset, Massachusetts. O na le lengolo la bachelor ho boenjineri ba motlakase ho tsoa United States Naval Academy e Annapolis, Maryland, le lengolo la masters la boenjineri ba leoatle ho tsoa Lenaneong le Kopaneng la Applied Ocean Science le Engineering le fanoang ke Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) e Cambridge, Massachusetts, le Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution e Falmouth, Massachusetts. Ka Phupu 2000, Bowen e ile ea e-ba ofisiri ea pele ea sekepe sa metsing se khethiloeng ke NASA.

Hoburg o khethiloe ke NASA e le setsebi sa linaleli ka 2017 'me lena e tla be e le leeto la hae la pele sebakeng. O tsoa Pittsburgh 'me o fumane lengolo la bachelor ho aeronautics le astronautics ho tloha MIT le doctorate ea boenjiniere ba motlakase le saense ea k'homphieutha ho tsoa Univesithing ea California, Berkeley. Nakong eo a neng a khethoa e le setsebi sa linaleli, Hoburg e ne e le motlatsi oa moprofesa oa thuto ea lifofane le tsa linaleli MIT. Patlisiso ea Hoburg e shebane le mekhoa e sebetsang ea moralo oa litsamaiso tsa boenjiniere. Hape ke mofofisi oa sefofane ea nang le lisebelisoa, enjene e le 'ngoe le litekanyetso tsa lienjine tse ngata.

Lenaneo la NASA's Commercial Crew Programme le sebetsa le indasteri ea sepakapaka sa Amerika ho fana ka lipalangoang tse bolokehileng, tse tšepahalang, le tse bolokang chelete e ngata ho ea le ho tsoa International Space Station ka lirokete tse entsoeng Amerika le lifofa-sebakeng tse thuntsoeng mobung oa Amerika.

Ka lilemo tse fetang 21, batho ba 'nile ba phela le ho sebetsa ba sa khaotse ka har'a International Space Station, ba ntšetsa pele tsebo ea saense le ho bontša mahlale a macha, ho etsa hore tsoelo-pele ea lipatlisiso e se ke ea khoneha Lefatšeng. E le boiteko ba lefats'e, batho ba 244 ba tsoang linaheng tse 19 ba etetse laboratori e ikhethang ea microgravity e amohetseng lipatlisiso le lipatlisiso tse fetang 3,000 ho tsoa ho bafuputsi linaheng le libakeng tse 108.

Seteishene sena ke teko ea bohlokoa bakeng sa NASA ho utloisisa le ho hlola mathata a sefofane sa nako e telele le ho holisa menyetla ea khoebo sebakeng se tlase sa Lefatše. Ha lik'hamphani tsa khoebo li tsepamisitse maikutlo ho faneng ka lits'ebeletso tsa lipalangoang tsa sebaka sa batho le ho nts'etsapele moruo o matla oa potoloho ea Lefatše, NASA e lokolohile ho tsepamisa maikutlo ho aheng lifofa-sebakeng le lirokete bakeng sa maeto a sebaka se tebileng ho ea Khoeli le Mars.
