SUMMARY: SpaceX successfully launched its Falcon 9 rocket carrying four crew members from Kennedy Space Center to the International Space Station (ISS) to relieve two NASA astronauts, Butch Wilmore and Sunny Williams, who have been stranded for nine months due to mechanical issues. The relief mission, a collaboration between NASA and SpaceX, is expected to arrive late Saturday. Once the crew arrives, they will spend a few days at the ISS before the two stranded astronauts return to Earth next Wednesday. The new crew members include two Americans, a Japanese astronaut, and a Russian astronaut, planning a six-month stay at the ISS.

CBS News Miami’s Nikiya Carrero explains how the mission went off without a hitch.
