By Steve Nesius and Steve Gorman CAPE CANAVERAL, Florida, Feb 13 (Reuters) - A SpaceX rocket soared into orbit from Florida early on Friday with a crew of two U.S. NASA astronauts, a French astronaut and a Russian cosmonaut headed to the International Space Station for an eight-month science mission in microgravity.

The first manned mission of the Artemis program won’t land on the moon, but it aims to take four astronauts farther from the Earth than anyone has gone before.

To avoid Swift being dragged down low enough to hit Earth’s atmosphere, NASA tapped an Arizona-based startup to launch a rescue mission. Late last year, NASA awarded Katalyst Space Technologies $30 million to develop a spacecraft designed to boost Swift’s orbit.

Axiom Space has raised $350 million to advance development of a commercial space station and new spacesuits for NASA.

The space company is creating lunar suits for NASA's upcoming Artemis missions and a successor to the International Space Station.

NASA’s new policy lets astronauts carry smartphones on missions like Crew-12 and Artemis II, opening the door to more candid, personal views of life in orbit and beyond Earth.
