NASA astronaut Anil Menon and Roscosmos cosmonauts Pyotr Dubrov and Anna Kikina arrive safely at the International Space Station on Tuesday. They travel aboard the Soyuz MS-29 spacecraft, launching earlier that day from Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan and reaching the station after an orbital trip of about three hours, according to reporting from both NASA and the Washington Times. Upon arrival, the trio joins the existing station crew, raising the International Space Station’s population to 10 for about the next two weeks. NASA reports the launch time as 10:47 a.m. EDT (7:47 p.m. local time), noting that the docking brings the station’s crew to its temporary total for the upcoming period. The sources agree on the crew identities, the use of Soyuz MS-29 for the mission, the successful arrival at the ISS, and the expected duration of the expanded crew while the new crewmates stay aboard.
