Takuya Onishi arrives at ISS for long-term mission

Japanese astronaut Takuya Onishi, 49, arrived at the International Space Station (ISS) on Sunday with three other astronauts aboard a SpaceX Crew Dragon spacecraft. This marks the beginning of their long-term stay. After docking, Onishi was the first to enter the ISS, celebrating with the crew. He plans to focus on various tasks, including scientific work in the Japanese module, Kibo. Onishi, who previously flew to space in 2016, will become the ISS commander later in his six-month mission. He is the third Japanese to hold this position, following Koichi Wakata and Akihiko Hoshide.
