 Moscow (AFP) Oct 12, 2007
 A Soyuz space craft carrying a Malaysian, a Russian and a US astronaut docked Friday with the International Space Station (ISS), an official at ground control outside Moscow said.

"The Soyuz docked with the ISS (at 1450 GMT)," ground control spokesman Nikolai Kruchkov told AFP. The hatch connecting the Soyuz and ISS was to open at about 1630 GMT, allowing the three to enter the permanently inhabited international space platform.

The new arrivals at the ISS were Malaysia's first astronaut, Sheikh Muszaphar Shukor, Russian cosmonaut Yury Malenchenko and NASA's Peggy Whitson, who will be the first female commander of the station.

They blasted off Wednesday from the Baikonur launch centre that Russia runs in Kazakhstan.
