The next four-person crew for the International Space Station has arrived in Florida, Spaceflight Now reports. The group of three astronauts and one Russian cosmonaut will spend the final days before launch there.
Liftoff is set for no earlier than October 1. After docking, the crew will begin an expedition of about six months on the orbiting laboratory.
Before launch, the crew is expected to go through the usual final steps, including rehearsals, checks of their equipment and time in pre-flight quarantine. Once aboard the station, they will take over work from the crew already there.
