Elon Musk’s SpaceX has sent a crew of four to the International Space Station, including two NASA astronauts, a Russian cosmonaut and an astronaut from the United Arab Emirates.
The Falcon 9 launch vehicle with the Crew Dragon spacecraft attached to it launched at 8:34 a.m. Moscow time from NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Cape Canaveral, Florida.
The launch was originally scheduled to take place 72 hours earlier, but was canceled minutes before launch due to a clogged filter in the igniter fluid supply system.
NASA said the issue was resolved by replacing the filter and bleeding the system.
