The Soyuz spacecraft blasted off from Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan at 4:31 p.m. EDT today (May 28), with three new crew members bound for the International Space Station (ISS). Georgian cosmonaut Fyodor Yurchikhin, Italian Luca Parmitano, and Karen Nyberg from the United States took a record-breaking route to the orbiting outpost after only six hours in flight. According to NASA, the rocket successfully docked with the International Space Station just before 10:17 EDT.
