Expedition 66-67 Soyuz Hatch Opening | International Space Station

March 18, 2022: Three Russian cosmonauts boarded the International Space Station March 18 after docking their Soyuz MS-21 spacecraft a little more than three hours after launching from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan. Oleg Artemyev, Denis Matveev and Sergey Korsakov docked the Soyuz to the Prichal module on the ISS for the start of a planned six-month mission and were later greeted by members of the Expedition 66 crew.

An international partnership of space agencies provides and operates the elements of the International Space Station (ISS). The principals are the space agencies of the United States, Russia, Europe, Japan, and Canada. The ISS has been the most politically complex space exploration program ever undertaken.
