International Space Station Welcomes New Crew of Two Russians and One American

A Russian Soyuz spacecraft carrying two Russian cosmonauts and one American astronaut successfully docked at the International Space Station (ISS) after launching from Kazakhstan. The trio will join the ISS Expedition 69 crew, with Loral O'Hara staying for six months and Oleg Kononenko and Nikolai Chub staying for a year. This mission was delayed due to a coolant leak in the original capsule, which will now be used to return another crew back to Earth. Kononenko will set a new record for the longest time spent in space by the end of his year-long stay.
