New Crew Poised to Launch to Space Station

A Russian cosmonaut doctor, a veteran Japanese astronaut and a rookie American spaceflyer are poised to blast off Sunday for the International Space Station.

The three spaceflyers are slated to launch Dec. 20 at 4:51 p.m. EDT (2151 GMT) on the Russian Soyuz TMA-17 spacecraft from the Baikonur cosmodrome in Kazakhstan. They will spend about two days catching up to the space station, where they plan to dock Tuesday.

The trio will join space station Expedition 22 commander Jeff Williams, a NASA astronaut, and flight engineer Maxim Suraev, a Russian cosmonaut, onboard the station. Williams and Suraev have been in space since October, and have been the only two people aboard the orbiting laboratory since Dec. 1.
