Synopsis

After launching earlier in the day in their Soyuz TMA-15M spacecraft from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan, Expedition 42/43 Soyuz Commander Anton Shkaplerov of the Russian Federal Space Agency (Roscosmos), NASA Flight Engineer Terry Virts and Flight Engineer Samantha Cristoforetti of the European Space Agency arrived at the International Space Station on November 24 following a four-orbit, six-hour rendezvous. They docked their craft to the Rassvet module on the Russian segment of the complex. A few hours after docking, Shkaplerov, Virts and Cristoforetti opened hatches and were greeted by station Commander Barry Wilmore of NASA and Flight Engineers Alexander Samokutyaev and Elena Serova of Roscosmos. As the hatches were opened, the families of the newly arrived crew and American, Russian and European space officials viewed the activities from Baikonur near the launch site.
