Crew from NASA, Roscosmos Prepare to Enter Station for Research Mission

NASA’s live hatch opening coverage is underway on NASA+. Hatch opening is scheduled to begin at 7:20 a.m. EDT.

The Soyuz MS-27 spacecraft arrived at the orbiting laboratory’s Prichal module at 4:57 a.m., after launching from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan at 1:47 a.m. on April 8 (10:47 a.m. Baikonur time) with NASA astronaut Jonny Kim and Roscosmos cosmonauts Sergey Ryzhikov and Alexey Zubritsky.

The trio will spend approximately eight months aboard the orbital laboratory before returning to Earth in December.
