Russia's Soyuz spacecraft carrying an unlit Olympic torch for 2014 Winter Games in Sochi and three astronauts on Thursday successfully docked to the International Space Station (ISS).
This is the first time since October 2009 that nine people have served together aboard the space station, NASA said.
After their departure, Expedition 38 will begin with Kotov of Roscosmos, who already is aboard, at the helm. Some of the cargo flown aboard the Soyuz will be used in ongoing or planned research investigations aboard the orbiting laboratory, the US space agency said.
