Tres astronautas despegan rumbo a la estación especial

Three astronauts launched to the International Space Station (ISS) after a previously aborted mission. Anne McClain from NASA, Davidson Jack from the Canadian Space Agency, and Oleg Kononenko from Roscosmos took off from Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan. The Soyuz spacecraft reached orbit in under nine minutes and prepared to dock with the ISS after six hours. NASA and Roscosmos confirmed all systems were functioning well, and the crew was in good health. The astronauts will spend over six months in space conducting various scientific experiments. Meanwhile, the current ISS crew, including members from NASA, Roscosmos, and ESA, await their arrival and plan to return to Earth on December 20.
