Washington/UNI/Xinhua/IBNS: US private space company SpaceX on Wednesday launched four more astronauts on a flight to the International Space Station (ISS) for NASA.

The SpaceX launch vehicle, which consists of a two-stage Falcon 9 rocket topped with a Crew Dragon capsule, lifted off with its crew at 3:52 am EDT (local time) from NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Cape Canaveral, Florida.

The crew consisted of equal numbers of men and women including the first black woman to make a long term spaceflight, Jessica Watkins, reported The Economic Times.

“This is one of the most diversified, I think, crews that we’ve had in a really, really long time," NASA's space operations mission chief Kathy Lueders said on the eve of launch, according to The Economics Times.
