The Soyuz, using a four-orbit rendezvous approach, docked with the station's Rassvet module at 10:10 pm EDT Tuesday (0210 GMT Wednesday). On board the Soyuz were Roscosmos cosmonaut Fyodor Yurchikhin, NASA astronaut Karen Nyberg, and ESA astronaut Luca Parmitano. They join the two Russians and one American already on the station.
