Astronauts Arrive Safely at ISS Space Station

On Wednesday, the four astronauts who left Cape Canaveral on a SpaceX rocket arrived safely at the ISS space station on Thursday.

 

The American space agency NASA reported that about twenty hours after the foursome had left.

The crew members are Thomas Marshburn (61), Raja Chari (44), Kayla Barron (34) from the United States and Matthias Maurer (51) from Germany.

The astronauts will stay on the ISS for six months. According to the current schedule, they should return to Earth at the end of April.

It is the fourth time in history that a commercial rocket has brought astronauts to the ISS. The departure has been postponed several times in recent weeks due to medical problems and bad weather.
