Russia’s Soyuz MS-27 mission is expected to launch three people to the International Space Station for a multi-month mission.
Aboard will be Russian cosmonauts Sergey Ryzhikov and Alexey Zubritsky, and NASA astronaut Jonny Kim. They are expected to rendezvous and dock with the Russian Prichal module.
Russia’s Soyuz spacecraft are designed to remain in space for more than 200 days.
