Members of the International Space Station (ISS) expedition 58/59, David Saint-Jacques of the Canadian Space Agency, NASA astronaut Anne McClain and Russian cosmonaut Oleg Kononenko board the Soyuz MS-11 spacecraft shortly before the launch at the Russian-leased Baikonur cosmodrome in Kazakhstan on December 3, 2018.
A Soyuz MS-11 rocket carrying Russian, American and Canadian astronauts reached orbit as the first manned mission since a failed launch in October.
Kononenko, Saint-Jacques and McClain are scheduled to remain on the station until some time next year, with the final duration of their expedition still unclear as Russia and NASA officials continue re-planning space station missions.
