US-Russian crew arrives at the International Space Station for 8-month mission

A U.S.-Russian space crew has arrived at the International Space Station for an eight-month mission. NASA astronaut Anil Menon and Russian crewmates Pyotr Dubrov and Anna Kikina lifted off Tuesday from the Russia-leased Baikonur cosmodrome in Kazakhstan and docked at the station three hours later. NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman attended the launch, marking the first visit to Baikonur by a NASA chief in eight years. This highlights ongoing cooperation between Moscow and Washington in space, despite tensions over Russia’s military actions in Ukraine.
