A Crew Dragon spacecraft carrying four NASA and ESA astronauts went to the International Space Station after a launch early Wednesday. The SpaceX Falcon 9 lifted off on schedule at 3:52 am EDT (0752 GMT) and released the Crew Dragon spacecraft Freedom into low Earth orbit 12 minutes later. Freedom docked with the ISS at 7:37 pm EDT (2337 GMT) on the Crew-4 mission, carrying astronauts Kjell Lindgren, Bob Hines, Jessica Watkins and Samantha Cristoforetti. The current Crew-3 astronauts on the ISS will leave early next week after a five-day handover with the new crew.
