The hatch between the International Space Station and the Soyuz MS-26 spacecraft opened at 5:58 p.m. EDT.
The spacecraft arrived on 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 roughly six months aboard the orbital laboratory earlier than returning to Earth within the spring of 2025.
