A Soyuz rocket launched a spacecraft carrying three new International Space Station crewmembers on Tuesday. The Soyuz rocket lifted off from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan at 6:51 am EDT (1051 GMT, 4:51 pm local time) Tuesday and placed the Soyuz TMA-06M spacecraft into orbit. The launch took place from Site 31 from Baikonur, which had not been used for a crewed Soyuz launch since 1984.

The three are bound for the ISS, joining the three crewmembers currently on the station. The Soyuz is scheduled to dock with the ISS at 8:35 am EDT (1235 GMT) Thursday.
