New Astronauts Join Crew at the International Space Station

On July 14, 2026, NASA astronaut Anil Menon, along with Russian cosmonauts Pyotr Dubrov and Anna Kikina, successfully arrived at the International Space Station (ISS). Their journey began aboard the Soyuz MS-29 spacecraft, which launched from the Baikonur Cosmodrome at 10:47 AM local time.

With the arrival of these new astronauts, the ISS crew has expanded to ten members, enabling a wide range of scientific experiments to be conducted over the next two weeks. As the largest human-made structure in space, the International Space Station plays a crucial role in space exploration and international collaboration.

The partnership between NASA and Roscosmos remains strong, allowing astronauts to work together on experiments and research in space, thereby advancing future space missions, including potential journeys to Mars.
