In 6 hours, Soyuz MS-05 launched and then docked with the International Space Station! That's a typical day's commute in the DC area. Paolo Nespoli, Randy Bresnik and Sergey Ryazabsky have joined the three current residents on the ISS, Peggy Whitson, Jack Fischer and Fyodor Yurchikhin, who are scheduled to remain aboard until September. The new arrivals will spend 5 months on the ISS conducting many scientific experiments.
One such experiment is a study developed by the Michael J. Fox Foundation of the pathology of Parkinson's disease to aid in the development of therapies for patients.
