Moment astronauts hug as they arrive at space station
A SpaceX crew of three US astronauts and one Russian cosmonaut have successfully arrived on board the International Space Station (ISS).
They were welcomed by the previous seven-person crew.
The Endeavour spacecraft docked with the ISS after blasting off from Florida.
The Crew-8 mission will be in space for six months. Space is one of the few areas where the US and Russia continue to co-operate closely despite the war in Ukraine.
