On the front screen in the cavernous control room at the Russian Mission Control Center in Korolev, Russia, the Expedition 50 crewmembers receive congratulatory calls from friends and family Nov. 20 following the arrival of Peggy Whitson of NASA, Oleg Novitskiy of the Russian Federal Space Agency (Roscosmos) and Thomas Pesquet of the European Space Agency at the International Space Station on the Soyuz MS-03 spacecraft. Hatches opened between the Soyuz and the station about two and a half hours after the Soyuz docked to the complex.
