Japanese astronaut Akihiko Hoshide, Russian cosmonaut Yuri Malenchenko, and US astronaut Sunita Williams are scheduled to stay on the ISS for four months.
They joined US astronaut Joseph Acaba and Russian cosmonauts Gennady Padalka and Sergei Revin.
Over the next few weeks the space station will be a busy place, as several spacecraft are scheduled to visit and bring supplies.
Japan's HTV3 cargo ship will be the first.
Since the US retired it's fleet of space shuttles, all personnel have been brought up via Russian Soyuz space craft, and supplies have been sent from various countries.
