"A Russian Soyuz-FG carrier rocket lifted off from the Baikonur Space Center in Kazakhstan on Tuesday carrying South Korea's first astronaut, on the 17th expedition to the International Space Station.

"The Soyuz TMA-12 delivery vehicle will bring two new crew members to the ISS—Russian cosmonauts Commander Sergei Volkov and Flight Engineer Oleg Kononenko—along with South Korea's Yi So-yeon, a spaceflight participant."

"The Russian cosmonauts will spend six months on board the orbital station, while Yi So-yeon, a biotechnology engineer, will be in orbit for only ten days.

During their stay on the ISS, the new crew will monitor docking with several space shuttles and cargo craft, move the Soyuz TMA-12 from the Zarya module to the Zvezda module on the Russian segment of the orbital station, and conduct at least one spacewalk.

"Their scientific research program comprises over 45 experiments, including studies into the growth of proteins and polymers, forecasting earthquakes, and the influence of space on various life forms, including human beings."
