Expedition 74 flight engineer and NASA astronaut Jessica Meir: "Welcome to the International Space Station Pyotr, Anna and Anil! Here’s a view of their Soyuz docking yesterday, as seen from a Russian Segment window. Let the games begin!"

The spacecraft arrived at the station’s Prichal module at 1:52 p.m. after launching at 10:47 a.m. (7:47 p.m. local time) from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan on Tuesday, July 14, 2026. At 4:30 p.m. EDT, the hatch opened between the International Space Station and the Soyuz MS-29 spacecraft. NASA astronaut Anil Menon and Roscosmos cosmonauts Pyotr Dubrov and Anna Kikina then entered the station, where they will spend the next eight months living and working before returning to Earth in April 2027.
