Washington-Sana
Three American astronauts and a fourth German took off to the International Space Station aboard the SpaceX spacecraft on a six-month orbit mission that was supposed to start ten days ago, but has been repeatedly postponed.
According to Agence France-Presse, the four astronauts will replace the crew that left the International Space Station a few days ago and returned to Earth on Monday night last Tuesday.
The crew launched yesterday evening from Florida aboard a capsule carrying a Falcon 9 rocket produced by SpaceX, and their Dragon capsule is supposed to dock with the space station today.
