Heading to the ISS inside the Soyuz MS-06 space capsule are NASA astronauts Mark Vande Hei and Joe Acaba, and Russian cosmonaut Alexander Misurkin. The trio will join three other astronauts and cosmonauts already aboard the station to round out the orbiting laboratory’s Expedition 53 crew. NASA’s webcast for the Soyuz docking will begin at 10:15 p.m. EDT (0215 GMT).
Hatches between the Soyuz and ISS will be opened at 12:40 a.m. EDT (0440 GMT), with NASA’s coverage of the welcome ceremony beginning at 12 a.m. EDT (0400 GMT).
