Their journey began with a successful launch from the Baikonur space center, culminating in a docking with the station's Rassvet module.
The newly arrived crew is set for an extensive eight-month mission, expected to conclude in late July 2026. During their time in orbit, they will engage in a rigorous schedule of over 40 scientific experiments. This scientific endeavor is crucial for advancing our understanding of space and its effects.
