Soyuz MS-08 performed an automated docking with the International Space Station, linking up with the orbital outpost at 19:41 UTC (15:41 EDT or 22:41 local time in Moscow at Russian Mission Control) on Friday, 23 March.

Roughly 1 hour 20 minutes later, hatches between the two vehicles will be opened, and the three crewmembers of Soyuz MS-08 will officially join the crew of the International Space Station for the already-in-progress Expedition 55 increment.
