Three Americans and a Russian arrived on the ISS on Tuesday. The so-called ‘Crew-8’ was launched on Sunday from the Cape Canaveral spaceport in Florida.
It is the first space flight for Epps, Grebenkin and Dominick, and Barratt is visiting the space station for the third time. The ISS is one of the few projects on which Americans and Russians are still working together despite the political tensions during the war. The US space agency Nasa and the Russian space agency Roscosmos have agreed that mixed space teams will fly to the station up to and including 2025.
