At 7:28 a.m. EDT, the hatch opened between the International Space Station and the Roscosmos Soyuz MS-27 spacecraft.
The spacecraft arrived at the orbiting laboratory's Prichal module at 4:57 a.m. EDT on April 8, after launching from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan at 1:47 a.m. (10:47 a.m. Baikonur time) with NASA astronaut Jonny Kim and Roscosmos cosmonauts Sergey Ryzhikov and Alexey Zubritsky.
The trio will spend approximately eight months aboard the space station before returning to Earth in December.
