Astronauts reach ISS
Print Edition
A Russian spacecraft with two Russians and a NASA astronaut a board docked successfully at the International Space Station on Friday after a technical hitch caused an unprecedented two-day delay.
The Soyuz TMA-12M brought Russia’s Alexander Skvortsov and Oleg Artemyev, and NASA’s Steve Swanson to the ISS.
Skvortsov was first to open the hatch into the ISS, hugging the crew members already on board and grinning broadly.
“That was fun ... It’s a lot more spacious in here,” Skvortsov said in a video link-up from the ISS.
The trio were originally to have docked with the ISS early on Wednesday, but their Soyuz spacecraft suffered a technical glitch on its approach in orbit. They had to orbit the Earth 34 times before their rendezvous with the international space laboratory.
