AI Summary

short article 1 min

A SpaceX rocket delivered four new astronauts to the International Space Station (ISS) on Saturday, restoring the station to its full operational capacity. The crew, consisting of astronauts from the US, France, and Russia, will spend eight to nine months aboard the ISS. Their arrival follows the emergency medical evacuation of a previous astronaut in January, which prompted the early return of their crew and left only three members to maintain the station. NASA has not disclosed the nature of the medical issue. The new crew includes experienced astronauts Jessica Meir and Andrei Fedyaev, as well as first-time space travelers Sophie Adenot and Jack Hathaway. The mission will allow NASA to resume paused spacewalks and continue research.
