On Friday, September 15, these three astronauts were launched from the Baikonur space base in Kazakhstan aboard the Soyuz spacecraft towards the International Space Station and after 3 hours they landed at a distance of 250 miles from the Earth. Currently, the International Space Station houses 10 people, which you can see in the image published by NASA in the section below.

Loral O’Hara, a native of Texas, will experience her first spacewalk and is scheduled to work on the International Space Station for the next six months, but her two Russian colleagues will be guests of the station for another year. Less than a month ago, four astronauts of NASA’s Crew 7 mission had reached this station. NASA’s Frank Rubio and Rascosmos’ Sergey Prokopyev and Dimitri Petelin are scheduled to leave the station next week. By next week, Rubio will become the first NASA astronaut to record a 371-day stay on the International Space Station.

Initially, this astronaut was supposed to be in the International Space Station for only 6 months, but the technical failure of the Soyuz spacecraft caused his return to Earth to be postponed. In fact, O’Hara and the two Russian astronauts with him were supposed to be transferred to this space base 6 months ago, but what happened to Frank Rubio’s spacecraft eventually led to the delay of their spacecraft’s launch.
