Russia launches Soyuz TMA-10M crew to space station [i]A veteran Russian space station commander, the grandson of a Soviet rocket scientist and the first among NASA's 2009 class of astronauts to fly in space set off for the International Space Station (ISS) on Wednesday (Sept. 25), where they will see the arrival of the Olympic torch and the first of a new type of American private cargo spaceship. Cosmonauts Oleg Kotov and Sergey Ryazanskiy, together with NASA astronaut Michael Hopkins, launched on board the Soyuz TMA-10M spacecraft for a same day arrival at the orbiting outpost. Riding atop a Soyuz-FG booster, the three lifted off from Roscosmos' Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan at 3:58 p.m. CDT (2058 GMT; 2:58 a.m. local time Sept. 26). Flying a four-orbit rendezvous, the TMA-10M crew is scheduled to dock with the space station's Poisk mini-research module at 9:48 p.m. CDT (0248 GMT Sept. 26).[/i]
