MOSCOW (AP)
— A Russian spacecraft carrying the Olympic torch and three astronauts has
docked with the International Space Station.
Video
streamed by the U.S. space agency NASA reported a flawless docking Thursday
about six hours after the craft blasted off from Russia's manned space facility
in Baikonur, Kazakhstan.
The unlit
torch for the 2014 Winter Olympics in the Russian city of Sochi is to be taken
on a spacewalk Saturday, then return to Earth on Monday (late Sunday EST) with
three departing space station astronauts.
The
arriving crew members Thursday were Russia's Mikhail Tyurin, American Rick
Mastracchio and Koichi Wakata of Japan.
