The Soyuz MS-25 spacecraft carrying the crew formed of NASA astronaut Tracy Dyson, Roscosmos cosmonaut Oleg Novitskiy and spaceflight participant Marina Vasilevskaya of Belarus blasts off to the International Space Station (ISS) from the launchpad at the Baikonur Cosmodrome, Kazakhstan, March 23, 2024. /Reuters

The Russian Soyuz MS-25 spacecraft successfully docked with the International Space Station (ISS) Monday, according to Russia's state space corporation Roscosmos.

The Soyuz MS-25, carrying three crew members, docked to the Prichal docking module on the Russian segment of the International Space Station at 6:02 p.m. local time (1502 GMT) on Monday, Roscosmos said.

The spacecraft was carrying Russian Oleg Novitsky, Belarusian Marina Vasilevskaya and American Tracy Dyson. Among them, Belarusian cosmonaut Marina Vasilevskaya became the first Belarusian woman to reach outer space with the trip.

The Russian spacecraft was successfully launched from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan on Saturday, two days later than planned. The original launch was aborted seconds before takeoff on Thursday because of a problem with a chemical power source.

Novitsky and Vasilevskaya will return to Earth on April 6 with Loral O'Hara, a U.S. astronaut currently aboard the orbital station.
