After launching earlier in the day in their Soyuz TMA-10M spacecraft from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan, Expedition 37/38 Soyuz Commander Oleg Kotov and Flight Engineer Sergey Ryazanskiy of the Russian Federal Space Agency (Roscosmos), NASA Flight Engineer Michael Hopkins arrived at the International Space Station Sept. 26 after a six-hour rendezvous, docking their craft to the Poisk module on the Russian segment of the complex. A few hours after docking, Kotov, Hopkins and Ryazanskiy opened hatches and were greeted by station Commander Fyodor Yurchikhin of Roscosmos, NASA Flight Engineer Karen Nyberg and Flight Engineer Luca Parmitano of the European Space Agency. As the hatches were opened, the families of the newly arrived crew and American and Russian space officials viewed the activities from Baikonur near the launch site.
