New ISS Crew Members Settling In

Soyuz TMA-16 successfully docked with the International Space Station (ISS) early this morning and its three crew members opened the hatch to the space station at 6:57 am EDT. Two of them, Russian Maxim Suraev and American Jeffrey Williams, will become part of the Expedition 21 crew. The third is Canadian “spaceflight participant” Guy Laliberte, founder and CEO of Cirque du Soleil. He will return to Earth with two members of the current Expedition 20 crew on October 11.
