A Russian rocket delivered a new three-man crew to the International Space Station (ISS). The Soyuz spacecraft docked with the ISS on Wednesday, after a two-day flight from Kazakhstan. The crew are American Michael Fincke, Russian Gennady Padalka and Andre Kuipers of the Netherlands. It is the third manned mission to the ISS since US shuttle flights were halted in the wake of the Columbia disaster on 1 February 2003. Since then Russian rockets have provided the only means for crews to travel to the space station.
