Russia’s Soyuz TMA-17 spacecraft lifted off from Kazakhstan on time this afternoon, taking three new crew members to the International Space Station (ISS). The three members of the “Expedition 22” crew –Russia’s Oleg Kotov, America’s T. J. Creamer, and Japan’s Soichi Noguchi — are scheduled to dock with the ISS on December 22. They will join the two crew members already there: Expedition 22 commander Jeff Williams and Flight Engineer Maxim Suraev.
