The Soyuz rocket is set to lift off at 1:44 p.m. EDT today from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan. It will be carrying NASA astronauts Drew Feustel and Ricky Arnold along with Oleg Artemyev of Roscosmos, the Russian space agency. All are spaceflight veterans.

Plans call for the trio’s Soyuz capsule to dock with the space station at 3:41 p.m. EDT on Friday, March 23. A couple of hours later, the hatches of the capsule and the station will open, allowing the men to join the three crewmembers who are already aboard the ISS.
