Three astronauts have successfully completed a trip aboard a Russian Soyuz capsule to the International Space Station in order to reinforce the crew.
NASA’s Kjell Lindgren, Russia’s Oleg Kononenko and Japan’s Kimiya Yui blasted off from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan at 3:02 a.m. local time (5:02 p.m. ET Wednesday).
It was a textbook launch, with Kononenko declaring everything “nominal,” meaning normal, about 20 minutes after liftoff. The Expedition 44 crew arrived less than six hours later.
