Three new crew members, Russian Cosmonauts Aleksandr Skvortsov and Oleg Artemyev as well as NASA astronaut Steven R. Swanson blasted off into Space tonight, March 25th 2014 at 21:17 UTC in their Soyuz TMA-12M spacecraft onboard a Soyuz-FG rocket. They will dock with the International Space Station later tonight just 6 hours after launch to join their fellow crew members already onboard - their expedition will last 6 months.
