Astronauts aboard the InternationalSpaceStation have captured images of Wednesday's rocketlaunch to the station involving three crew members.
NASA astronaut Frank Rubio and Roscosmos cosmonauts Sergey Prokopyev and Dmitri Petelin arrived safely at the International Space Station on Wednesday following a journey from Earth that took just over three hours.
The trio blasted off from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan, and the position of the ISS at the time of launch gave the station’s crew a clear view as the Soyuz rocket made its way to space. ISS crew members Bob Hines and Samantha Cristoforetti even managed to capture some shots of the rocket as it blasted skyward.
“Ever wonder what a launch looks like from space? It’s amazing!!” American astronaut Hines tweeted alongside a number of images showing the astronauts on their way to the orbiting laboratory. Hines added: “Frank Rubio launched on a Soyuz just a few hours ago … now he’s at the front door of [the] space station awaiting hatch opening! Welcome aboard, Frank!”
