KOROLYOV, Russia (AFP) Oct 20, 2003
 A Russian Soyuz spacecraft carrying three astronauts, an American, a Russian and a Spaniard, successfully docked with the International Space Station (ISS) Monday, mission control said.

The Soyuz TMA-3 craft, manned by American Michael Foale, Russian Alexander Kaleri and Spaniard Pedro Duque, docked with the ISS at 0716 GMT, officials at TsUP mission control outside Moscow said.

The vessel had blasted off from the Baikonur cosmodrome in Kazakhstan on Saturday to relieve a US-Russian crew that has been there for six months.
