by Cape Canaveral, Florida (AP) – SpaceX delivered a fresh crew to the international space station on Saturday and made the trip in a quick 15 hours.
The four US, Russian and Japanese astronauts drove in their SpaceX capsule after they were started from the Kennedy Space Center of NASA. You will spend at least six months in the Orbiting laboratory and have been exchanged with colleagues up there since March. SpaceX will get these four back on Wednesday.
Nasas Zen Cardman and Mike Fincke, Japan’s Kimiya Yui and Russia’s Oleg Platonov are moving in, each of which was originally assigned to other missions. “Hello, space station!” Fincke sparkled as soon as the capsule put high above the South Pacific.
Cardman and another astronaut were pulled out of a SpaceX flight last year to make room for the two stuck astronauts of NASA. Fincke and Yui had trained for the next Starlin Mission. But with Starliner, which was founded by Thruster and other problems by 2026, the two switched to SpaceX.
Platonov was bumped into a few years ago by the Sojuz mood line -up due to an unknown illness.
The space station temporarily brings their arrival to 11. The astronauts who welcomed them had cold drinks and hot food that were waiting for them.
While their taxi flight to US standards was quick, the Russians have the record for the fastest trip to the space station and lightning-fast.
