Tim Peake, Tim Kopra and Yuri Malenchenko entered their Soyuz TMA-19M spacecraft and closed the hatch to the International Space Station at 02:34 with the Space Station hatch closed one minute later.
Long leak-tests await the trio inside their spacecraft and they will don their Sokol suits for reentry as well as put the Soyuz in autonomous power mode. Radio communication checks were conducted earlier.
