SpaceX rocket blasts off to International Space Station
NASA and SpaceX's Dragon spacecraft blasted off on Saturday carrying four astronauts to the International Space Station.
The Crew-7 mission is commanded by American Jasmin Moghbeli and includes Andreas Mogensen of Denmark, Satoshi Furukawa of Japan and Konstantin Borisov of Russia.
The Dragon spacecraft carried by a Falcon 9 rocket lifted off at 3:27 am (0727 GMT) from Launch Complex 39A at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida, in front of around 10,000 people gathered to watch the launch.
"We have liftoff!" NASA said on X, formerly known as Twitter.
Cheers could be heard in the mission control room soon after the Dragon craft separated from the Falcon 9 rocket with the crew in orbit.
"We may have four crew members on board from four different nations... but we're a united team with a common mission," Moghbeli said after the separation.
The launch was pushed back to Saturday to give engineers an extra day to review a component of the Crew Dragon capsule's environmental control and life support system, NASA said in a blog post.
It is the first space mission for both Moghbeli and Borisov.
