A new crew of two Russians and one American has successfully docked with the International Space Station, Russian mission control says.

The Soyuz capsule with Russian cosmonauts Oleg Novitskiy and Evgeny Tarelkin and NASA's Kevin Ford docked with the ISS on Thursday after their two-day journey from Earth.

The three men blasted off from Russia's Baikonur cosmodrome in a Soyuz TMA-06M space craft on Tuesday.

They join NASA's Sunita Williams, Russia's Yuri Malenchenko and Japan's Akihiko Hoshide, who arrived at the space station in July and are due to leave in mid-November.
