New Crew Docks to Station Aboard Soyuz Spacecraft

At 4:57 a.m. EDT, the Soyuz MS-27 spacecraft docked to the International Space Station’s Prichal module. NASA astronaut Jonny Kim and Roscosmos cosmonauts Sergey Ryzhikov and Alexey Zubritsky launched at 1:47 a.m. on April 8 (10:47 a.m. Baikonur time) from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan.

Hatch opening is scheduled for 7:20 a.m. with NASA’s live coverage resuming at 7 a.m. on NASA+. Learn how to watch NASA content through a variety of platforms.

Once aboard, the trio will join Expedition 72, including NASA astronauts Nichole Ayers, Anne McClain, and Don Pettit, JAXA (Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency) astronaut Takuya Onishi, and Roscosmos cosmonauts Alexey Ovchinin, Kirill Peskov, and Ivan Vagner. The newly arrived crew members will spend approximately eight months aboard the orbital laboratory, returning to Earth in December.
