Russia’s Soyuz MS-08 spacecraft pulled into a docking port on the International Space Station on Friday after two-day journey from a remote launch pad in Kazakhstan to the orbital home and workplace for three experienced space fliers spending the spring and summer months off the planet.

Soyuz veteran Oleg Artemyev, Hubble handyman Drew Feustel and educator-astronaut Ricky Arnold are kicking off a 158-day stay on board the orbiting laboratory as part of Expedition 55 and 56 through late August 2018, set to tackle a busy schedule of world-class science, a series of visiting vehicle moves and a number of outfitting spacewalks coming up over the next five months.
