Cape Canaveral: NASA launched four astronauts to the International Space Station on Friday, the latest team to head out on a research expedition to the orbiting laboratory.
The US space agency's international Crew-12 lifted off at approximately 5:15 am local time (1015 GMT) aboard a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket from the Cape Canaveral launch site in Florida, according to a NASA video feed.
The astronauts will replace a crew that returned from the station early due to a medical issue with one of its members.
The pre-dawn launch was delayed by two days over adverse weather forecasts across the US East Coast, including high winds that could have complicated any potential emergency maneuvers.
The astronauts are expected to arrive at the ISS by approximately 3:15 pm local time on Saturday.
