A Soyuz spacecraft has safely docked at the International Space Station, beginning the Expedition 42 Futura mission.
It transported an American and Russian astronaut, as well as Italian Samantha Cristoforetti.
She's a flight engineer with the European Space Agency. But before all of that, she attended Space Camp at the US Space and Rocket Center in Huntsville in 1995.
