(CNN) - A Soyuz spacecraft docked with the International Space Station on Friday afternoon while both were flying over Germany.
It carried three new crew members for the ISS, one American astronaut, one Russian and one from the European Space Agency. The Soyuz blasted off from Kazakhstan on Friday morning.
