Soyuz spacecraft relocated to new docking port at space station in joint mission.
TL;DR
NASA astronaut and two cosmonauts moved a Soyuz capsule from one docking port to another at the International Space Station to make way for a new cargo ship arriving later this year. The maneuver will also ensure that the original docking module is clear for cosmonauts to take spacewalks outside the station in April and May. The Soyuz will undock from the station on Sep. 27, carrying the crewmembers back to Earth.
