US-Russian SpaceX crew successfully enter the ISS – watch live – BBC News

Summary

A SpaceX crew of three US astronauts and one Russian cosmonaut have successfully arrived onboard the International Space Station (ISS)
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
More than 200 science experiments are to be conducted during the mission, including growing artificial replicas of human organs in the low-gravity environment – which is not possible on Earth
Nasa says the newcomers will join a seven-person crew currently at the space station, which sits some 250 miles (402km) above the Earth
