The @Space_Station is is a unique science lab in weightlessness that cannot be replaced by any lab on our planet. Not even close. Get a snapshot of the latest European experiments in microgravity over on the #Horizons blog: https://t.co/WIFgCvSO4S

Drei neue Besatzungsmitglieder sind an Bord der Internationalen Raumstation (ISS). Die Luken der ISS und des Sojus TMA-20M–Raumschiffs öffneten sich um 8:20 a.m.EDT (14:20 Uhr MESZ) und markierte die Ankunft von Robert Shane Kimbrough (USA/NASA), Andrei Iwanowitsch Borissenko (Russland/Roskosmos) und Sergei Nikolajewitsch Ryschikow (Russland/Roskosmos). Ihr Raumschiff dockte um 5:52 a.m. (11:52 Uhr MESZ) mit dem “Poisk”-Modul der Station. Zum Andock-Zeitpunkt flog die ISS 251 Meilen über Südrussland. Das Trio vereinigt sich mit Expedition 49-Kommandant Anatoli Alexejewitsch Iwanischin (Russland/Roskosmos) und den Bordingenieuren Kate Rubins und Takuya Ōnishi (Japan/JAXA), die sich seit Juli an Bord des orbitalen Komplexes befinden. Die ankommende Crew wird ein wenig mehr als vier Monate zusammen an Bord der Raumstation verbringen und kehrt Ende Februar zur Erde zurück. Die Besatzungsmitglieder werden an Bord der Raumstation zu mehr als 250 Forschungsexperimenten auf verschiedenen Gebieten wie Biologie, Geowissenschaften, Humanforschung, Physik und Technologieentwicklung beitragen.
