The three crew members are due to spend more than four months aboard the ISS before returning to Earth in December. The group will bring the ISS up to its full crew of six and will work on various experiments in biology, biotechnology, physical science and Earth science, according to NASA, which shared a video of the crew as they reached orbit.

NASA says it will start sending astronauts up to the station using ships developed by SpaceX and Boeing by the end of next year. Both spaceships have room for a fourth person, allowing them to boost the station's overall crew size to seven - once Russia decides to return to full staffing.
