Three Americans and a Russian arrived at the ISS space station on Tuesday. They were warmly welcomed by the current ISS crew, as seen on the video broadcast by the American space agency NASA.
The so-called “Crew-8” was launched on Sunday (local time) from the Cape Canaveral spaceport in the US state of Florida. She flew to the ISS aboard a ‘Crew Dragon’, owned by technology billionaire Elon Musk’s private space company SpaceX.
This was the repeated time since the beginning of Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine and the resulting tensions between the US and Russia that astronauts from both countries reached space together.
It is expected that NASA astronauts Matthew Dominick and Michael Barratt, their colleague Jeanette Epps and cosmonaut Alexander Grebenkin will work on the ISS for about six months and, among other things, several medical experiments are planned. It is the first space flight for Epps, Grebenkin and Dominick, and Barratt is visiting the space station for the third time. This time there was already a crew of seven on board. (sda/dpa)
