Cape Canaveral. On Wednesday, for the first time in twenty years, a Russian astronaut flew from the US to the International Space Station. The Russian cosmonaut left for the International Space Station (ISS) with astronauts from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and Japan, despite strained relations between the two countries over the Ukraine crisis.
Earlier, the flight of his Space-X company’s rocket was postponed due to Hurricane ‘Ian’ in Florida province of America. On the other hand, Japan’s space agency astronaut Koichi Wakata, who is going on this space trip, said, ‘I hope That through this launch we will light up the skies of Florida a little bit for everyone.’
Koichi Wakata accompanied by US Navy Colonel Nicole Mann, Captain Josh Kasada and Russia’s only female astronaut Anna Kikina left for the International Space Station. Their mission will last for five months. All the astronauts will reach the space station on Thursday.
