Three American astronauts and a Russian cosmonaut arrived at the International Space Station on Tuesday. They will stay there for approximately six months, time to carry out more than 200 scientific experiments during their stay.

This is the eighth regular rotation mission of the ISS crew carried out by SpaceX for NASA. The American Michael Barratt is the only Crew-8 astronaut to have already visited the ISS. However, it is the first time for the Americans Matthew Dominick and Jeanette Epps, as well as for the Russian Cosmonaut Alexandre Grebionkin.
