They’ve made contact.   A Russian space mission successfully docked with the International Space System early Thursday morning.

Newsday reported the ship carried three astronauts, a Russian named Oleg Kononenko, American Kjell Lindgren, and a Japanese man Kimiya Yui. Yui told the press he was bringing sushi with him to treat the current residents of the Space Station, who are four months into a year-long assignment.

The Soyuz space capsule was originally scheduled to launch in April but was delayed after an unmanned Russian space ship failed. This capsule launched from Kazahstan and orbited the Earth 4 times before connecting with the Space Station.

Channel News Asia reported there was one mishap with the flight, as one of the capsule’s solar arrays did not activated when planned to capture solar energy from the sun. Fortunately, the other solar arrays did work and the ship landed safely.

Kononenko, the capsule’s commander told reporters before the launch, “Machinery is machinery. It can let you down.”

The new arrivals are scheduled to spend 163 days in space. It is Lindgren and Yui’s first space voyages.
