Africa-Press – Mauritius. <\/strong><\/span>A SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket successfully launched Friday from NASA\u2019s Kennedy Space Center in Florida, carrying four astronauts to the International Space Station (ISS) on the Crew-11 mission.<\/p>\n

Lifting off at 11.43 am local time (1643GMT), the rocket carried NASA astronauts Zena Cardman and Mike Fincke, Japan\u2019s Kimiya Yui, and Russian cosmonaut Oleg Platonov. The mission, originally scheduled for Thursday, was delayed due to inclement weather. Friday\u2019s launch faced similar concerns but proceeded as planned.<\/p>\n

The crew is expected to dock with the ISS after a 15-hour journey. The team will spend six months on board conducting science experiments ranging from stem cell research to plant biology.<\/p>\n
