A Soyuz spacecraft carrying three new crew members docked with the International Space Station on Wednesday night. The Soyuz TMA-21 spacecraft docked with the Poisk module of the station at 7:09 pm EDT (2309 GMT) after a normal, automated approach. On board the spacecraft are Russian cosmonauts Alexander Samokutyaev and Andrey Borisenko and American astronaut Ron Garan, who joined the three people currently on the station when hatches separating the station and Soyuz opened a short time after docking. The Soyuz, named "Gagarin" to mark the 50th anniversary this month of Yuri Gagarin's historic flight, launched on Monday from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan.
