Why in news
A Soyuz spacecraft launched from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan.
It carries an American astronaut and two Russian cosmonauts to the International Space Station (ISS).
The spacecraft is decorated to mark the 80th anniversary of the end of World War II.
Astronauts will conduct 50 scientific experiments before returning to Earth on December 9.
Russia has rented Baikonur from Kazakhstan since the Soviet Union’s collapse.
Space cooperation remains one of the few areas of cooperation between Russia and the U.S. despite strained relations.
