MOSCOW (Sputnik) - Russian space agency Roscosmos will launch a Soyuz spaceship with an international crew of three on Thursday that will include the first female spacefarer from Belarus in the European country's post-Soviet history.
Marina Vasilevskaya, a Belarusian flight attendant, will be joined by Russian cosmonaut Oleg Novitsky and NASA astronaut Tracy Dyson on a more than three hour flight to the International Space Station.
The Soyuz MS-25 craft will blast off from Baikonur spaceport at 4:21 p.m. Moscow time (13:21 GMT) and is slated to dock with the orbital outpost at 7:40 p.m. Moscow time.
