Three Greeted As They Arrive At Space Station

THE International Space Station had three new crewmembers yesterday, temporarily doubling the crew size with the arrival of a Russian Soyuz capsule.

The Soyuz delivered NASA astronaut Dan Burbank and Russians Anton Shkaplerov and Anatoly Ivanishin, who blasted off from Kazakhstan on Monday.

The newcomers were greeted with hugs and handshakes by American Michael Fossum, Russian Sergey Volkov and Japanese Satoshi Furukawa who are due to return to Earth next week.
