Williams, 49, accompanied by Robert Behnken, Eric Boe and Douglas Hurley , will train and prepare for commercial spaceflights that will return American launches to the US soil and further open up lowEarth orbit transportation to the private sector.

"These distinguished, veteran astronauts are blazing a new trail -that will one day land them in the history books and Americans on the surface of Mars," said Nasa administrator Charles Bolden.
