The rocket took off in windy conditions from Russia's space base in Kazakhstan at 2126 GMT, an AFP reporter saw.
The trio comprise Russians Oleg Skriprochka and Alexey Ovchinin, and grandfather of three Jeff Williams, a veteran of long-duration space missions. By the end of his half-year trip aboard the ISS, Williams "will become the American with the most cumulative days in space -- 534," NASA says
