In this photo released by Roscosmos space corporation, the Soyuz-2.1 rocket booster with Soyuz MS-26 space ship carrying Roscosmos cosmonauts Alexey Ovchinin, Ivan Vagner and NASA astronaut Don Pettit, a new crew to the International Space Station, ISS, blasts off in the Russian leased Baikonur cosmodrome, Kazakhstan, Wednesday, Sept. 11, 2024.

The mission commander is Alexei Ovchinin, with Russian compatriot Ivan Vagner and American Donald Pettit in the crew.

On the space station, Pettit, Vagner and Ovchinin will join NASA’s Tracy Dyson, Mike Barratt, Matthew Dominick, Jeanette Epps, Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams, and Russians Nikolai Chub, Alexander Grebenkin and Oleg Kononenko.have remained on the station long past their scheduled return to Earth.
