Moment crew docks at International Space Station


Four astronauts have docked at the International Space Station (ISS) after blasting off from Earth on Friday.

The crew will spend eight months aboard the ISS after replacing a team that evacuated last month due to a medical emergency.

On board the SpaceX Dragon spacecraft travelling to the ISS were two Nasa astronauts from the US, Jessica Meir and Jack Hathaway, European Space Agency astronaut Sophie Adenot, from France, and Russian Roscocosmos cosmonaut Andrey Fedyaev.

The four are known as Crew-12, because they make up SpaceX’s 12th crewed rotational flight to the International Space Station.
