SpaceX has launched a fourth group of astronauts into orbit. The SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket sent astronauts aboard the Crew Dragon spacecraft called Freedom.

On board — Chell Lindgren, Robert Hines, Jessica Watkins and the representative of the European Space Agency (ESA), Italian Samantha Christophoretti.

They have to stay in orbit for about six months. The four will join the Crew-3 astronauts, who launched in November.
