Two rookie Russian cosmonauts and South Korea's first astronaut will rocket into space Tuesday, riding aboard a Soyuz capsule in pursuit of the international space station.

Liftoff from the historic Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan is scheduled for 7:16 a.m. EDT (1116 GMT), beginning a 9-minute ascent to orbit for the three-stage liquid-fueled booster.

It will take two days for the Soyuz TMA-12 capsule to the reach station, with docking to the Pirs compartment expected around 9 a.m. EDT (1300 GMT) on Thursday. The linkup will deliver commander Sergei Volkov and flight engineer Oleg Kononenko to the orbiting complex for their six-month Expedition 17 mission.

Joining the cosmonauts for the trip to the station is South Korean spaceflight participant So-yeon Yi. Under a commercial agreement with the Russian Federal Space Agency, she will spend more than a week aboard the outpost before returning to the Earth with departing Expedition 16 crewmates Peggy Whitson and Yuri Malenchenko. Landing of the Soyuz TMA-11 spacecraft is scheduled for 4:38 a.m. EDT (0838 GMT) on Saturday, April 19
