Cosmonauts and astronaut arrive safely at the International Space Station

Russian cosmonauts and a NASA astronaut arrived this Friday (April 9) safely at the International Space Station (ISS).

Expedition 65 from the International Space Station successfully docked at the ISS after leaving the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan.

The crew, made up of Russian cosmonauts Pyotr Dubrov and Oleg Novitsky, and NASA astronaut Mark Vande Hei, took off on a Soyuz-2 rocket, and arrived safely, three hours after takeoff.

The four cosmonauts thus joined the crew of Expedition 64, temporarily increasing the population of the lab in orbit to a total of 10 people.
