Today at 7:12 a.m. EDT, three humans left planet Earth on a two-day journey to the International Space Station (@iss). Launched aboard a Soyuz spacecraft from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan, NASA astronaut Serena Auñón-Chancellor, Alexander Gerst of the European Space Agency and Sergey Prokopyev of Roscosmos will arrive at their new orbiting home on Friday.
During their time on humanity’s only permanently occupied microgravity laboratory, they will work on hundreds of experiments in biology, biotechnology, physical science and Earth science. They will be joining the trio who is already in space, bringing the total crew to six people.
