NASA has launched its new Expedition 56-57 mission to the ISS. If you're on the ground then you can only see the rocket take off, if you're on the International Space Station then you can only see the payload arrive, and if you're inside the rocket then you have a bad view of the whole thing. In this mission three astronauts who are form European Space Agency, the United States and Russian Federation are included, and they are blasted off on Wednesday for the mission to the International Space Station. During his space mission, he made a spacewalk that lasted 6 hours and 13 minutes. For Prokopyev and Aunon-Chancellor, this expedition will be the first in their career. They launched to the International Space Station at 7:12 a.m. Wednesday, and docked at 9:01 a.m. Friday morning.
