SpaceX launched a crew of four astronauts to the International Space Station on its first operational flight for NASA on Sunday night.

Sunday’s launch sent three NASA astronauts and one Japanese astronaut to the ISS. The flight is commanded by Air Force Col. Mike Hopkins and piloted by former Navy test pilot Victor Glover. The crew is rounded out by Johnson Space Center veteran Shannon Walker and Soichi Noguchi from the Japanese Aerospace Exploration Agency. This is Glover’s first spaceflight.
