SpaceX rocket carrying four astronauts launches from Florida

Kimbrough, McArthur, Pesquet, and Hoshide will join seven astronauts already on board the station, four of whom arrived on a SpaceX Crew Dragon capsule in November. That will bring the space station's total staff to 11 - one of the largest crews the ISS has ever hosted.
