The hatch between the International Space Station and the Soyuz MS-26 spacecraft opened at 5:58 p.m. EDT.
The spacecraft arrived at the orbiting laboratory’s Rassvet module at 3:32 p.m. Sept. 11, after launching from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan at 12:23 p.m. (9:23 p.m. Baikonur time) with NASA astronaut Don Petitt and Roscosmos cosmonauts Aleksey Ovchinin and Ivan Vagner.
The trio will spend approximately six months aboard the orbital laboratory before returning to Earth in the spring of 2025.
