Moscow, Safar 02, 1436, November 24, 2014, SPA -- A Soyus space capsule on Monday brought three astronauts to the International Space Station (ISS) - together with Russian caviar and the first cosmic espresso machine, dpa reported. The capsule with Samantha Cristoforetti of Italy, Anton Shkaplerov of Russia and America Terry Virts docked at the ISS six hours after takeoff in Baikonur, Kazakhstan, the Russian Space Agency said. Cristoforetti, Italy's first female astronaut, brought the first authentic Italian espresso machine to space, while her Russian colleague Shkaplerov carried food for a traditional Russian New Year meal, including caviar. Dubbed "ISSpresso," the machine is the first capsule-based espresso system able to work in the extreme conditions of space, Italian manufacturer Argotec said in a statement. The three astronauts are expected to stay 169 days in space. They join station commander Barry Wilmore of the US and Alexander Samokutyayev and Yelena Serova of Russia, who have been in space since September. --SPA 13:23 LOCAL TIME 10:23 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/w
