Space travel: Four astronauts launched to the ISS
Since February, two Americans, a Russian and a Frenchwoman have been in space. Now their replacements are on their way.
Four astronauts have launched to the International Space Station ISS aboard a SpaceX Crew Dragon. The crew, consisting of NASA's Jessica Watkins and Luke Delaney, Canadian astronaut Joshua Kutryk, and Russian cosmonaut Sergej Teterjatnikow, took off from Cape Canaveral in Florida. They are expected to dock at the ISS around eight hours after launch, a record time according to NASA.
This is the first spaceflight for Delaney, Kutryk, and Teterjatnikow, and the second for Watkins, who will spend about six months on the station as part of Crew 13, replacing Crew 12.
