The original planned launch was aborted seconds before take-off on Thursday because of a problem with a chemical power source.
The Soyuz, carrying Russian Oleg Novitsky, Belarusian Marina Vasilevskaya and US astronaut Tracy Dyson, is due to dock with the ISS on Monday.
Space is one of the last remaining areas where the United States and Russia continue to collaborate despite the dire state of their relations as a consequence of the war in Ukraine.
Novitsky and Vasilevskaya will return to earth on April 6 with Loral O'Hara, a US astronaut currently aboard the orbital station.
