The launch was delayed by one day from its original schedule for Friday. The spacecraft will take more than 24 hours to manoeuvre towards the ISS.


On board are astronauts Jasmin Moghbeli of the United States, Andreas Mogensen of Denmark, Satoshi Furukawa of Japan and Konstantin Borisov of Russia.


The team, dubbed Crew-7, will spend six months on the ISS. They will take over operations from astronauts Stephen Bowen and Warren Hoburg (United States), Andrei Fedyaev (Russia) and Sultan al-Nijadi (United Arab Emirates), who have been at the ISS since March.
