ESA astronaut Samantha Cristoforetti (left) pictured with her Crew-4 colleagues, NASA astronauts Bob Hines (top), Kjell Lindgren (right) and Jessica Watkins (bottom right) as well as Crew-3 NASA astronaut Kayla Barron (bottom left).

This image was captured by NASA astronaut Thomas Marshburn not long after Crew-4 arrived aboard the International Space Station in Crew Dragon spacecraft Freedom. Samantha's arrival marked the official start of her ESA mission Minerva – the second mission for the Italian ESA astronaut.
