Swedish astronaut Marcus Wandt has successfully docked at the International Space Station (ISS) after approximately 36 hours of travel.

Wandt, aboard the spacecraft Dragon, is the third Swede to visit space.

The journey, launched from Florida's Kennedy Space Center, included Italian Walter Villadei, Turkey's first astronaut Alper Gezeravcı, and mission commander Michael López-Alegría of the US and Algeria.

Over the next two weeks, the astronauts will conduct experiments aboard the ISS.
