NASA has launched four astronauts to the International Space Station aboard a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket from Kennedy Space Center in Florida on Friday.
The crew replace Crew-11, which returned to Earth early after a medical issue, leaving the station temporarily staffed by only three astronauts.
Crew-12 is expected to arrive at the orbiting lab Saturday, filling the vacancies left by their evacuated colleagues last month and bringing the space station back to full staff.
