Daisuke Enomoto was originally scheduled to be the spaceflight participant,but on 21 August 2006,he was determined to be unfit for the flight due to medical reasons,and replaced by Anousheh Ansari,his back-up crew member.
Soyuz TMA-9,known within the International Space Station program as ISS Soyuz 13,was the 32nd crewed flight to the ISS. It is of note because for three days,from 18–21 September 2006,it marked the first time since before the Columbia accident that twelve humans have been in space simultaneously;three aboard the International Space Station (Expedition 13),three aboard Soyuz TMA-9,and six aboard Space Shuttle Atlantis,flying mission STS-115.
The capsule successfully launched from Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan on a Soyuz-FG rocket at 09:08 MDS (04:08 UTC) on Monday 18 September 2006. [3] It successfully docked with the ISS on Wednesday 20 September to begin a six-month stay on the orbiting laboratory.
Anousheh Ansari,the Spaceflight Participant launched by TMA-9,has returned to Earth safely alongside Commander Pavel Vinogradov and Flight Engineer Jeffrey Williams of the Expedition 13 crew aboard Soyuz TMA-8 on 29 September 2006 at 01:13 UTC. Undocking from the ISS took place at 21:53 UTC on 28 September. López-Alegría and Tyurin undocked from ISS on 21 April 2007,09:11 UTC,and landed at 12:31:30 UTC,after a seven-month stay on the station.
Soyuz TMA-4 was a Soyuz mission to the International Space Station (ISS) launched by a Soyuz FG launch vehicle. It was launched on April 19,2004 (UTC) from Baikonur Cosmodrome. Gennady Padalka from Russia,Michael Fincke from the US and AndréKuipers from the Netherlands were flown to the International Space Station. Kuipers returned to Earth 9 days later together with ISS crew 8 with the re-entry module of the Soyuz TMA-3,the other two stayed as ISS crew 9. The craft landed October 24,2004 with Padalka,Fincke and Yuri Shargin aboard.
Mikhail Vladislavovich Tyurin is a former Russian cosmonaut who flew several missions to the International Space Station and completed four spacewalks during his career. He was awarded the title Hero of the Russian Federation for his work as a cosmonaut.
Soyuz TMA-6 was a human spaceflight to the International Space Station (ISS). It carried three crew members of Expedition 11 to the International Space Station. It was the 26th crewed flight to the ISS. It was launched by a Soyuz FG and returned to Earth after performing operations at the ISS.
Soyuz TMA-7 was a transport mission for portions of the International Space Station (ISS) Expedition 12 crew launched October 1,2005. The flight delivered ISS Commander William McArthur and ISS Flight Engineer Valery Tokarev to the station to replace Expedition 11 crew members. Spaceflight Participant Gregory Olsen joined the TMA-7 crew for the ascent and docking with the ISS,spent approximately eight days aboard conducting experiments,then returned to Earth with the outgoing members of Expedition 11 aboard Soyuz TMA-6. McArthur and Tokarev were joined on their return trip to Earth by Flight Engineer Marcos Pontes who launched aboard Soyuz TMA-8 and spent approximately seven days aboard the ISS conducting experiments for the Brazilian Space Agency.
Soyuz TMA-8 was a Soyuz mission to the International Space Station (ISS) launched by a Soyuz FG launch vehicle.
Expedition 14 was the 14th expedition to the International Space Station (ISS). Commander Michael López-Alegría,and flight engineer Mikhail Tyurin launched from Baikonur Cosmodrome on 18 September 2006,04:09 UTC,aboard Soyuz TMA-9. They joined Thomas Reiter,who had arrived at the ISS on 6 July 2006 aboard Space Shuttle Discovery during mission STS-121. In December 2006,Discovery mission STS-116 brought Sunita Williams to replace Reiter as the third member of Expedition 14. On 21 April 2007,López-Alegría and Tyurin returned to Earth aboard TMA-9. Landing occurred at 12:31:30 UTC.
Soyuz TMA-10 was a human spaceflight mission using a Soyuz-TMA spacecraft to transport personnel to and from the International Space Station (ISS). The mission began at 17:31:09 UTC on April 7,2007 when the spacecraft was launched from the Baikonur Cosmodrome by a Soyuz FG launch vehicle. Soyuz TMA-10 brought to the station two members of ISS Expedition 15 crew,along with one spaceflight participant. It remained at the space station as an escape craft until it was replaced by Soyuz TMA-11 in October 2007.
The Soyuz TMA-16 was a crewed flight to and from the International Space Station (ISS). It transported two members of the Expedition 21 crew and a Canadian entrepreneur from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan to the ISS. TMA-16 was the 103rd flight of a Soyuz spacecraft,the first flight launching in 1967. The launch of Soyuz TMA-16 marked the first time since 1969 that three Soyuz craft were in orbit simultaneously.
Soyuz TMA-17 was a human spaceflight mission to the International Space Station (ISS). TMA-17 crew members participated in ISS Expedition 22 and Expedition 23. The mission ended when the Soyuz TMA-17 capsule landed on 2 June 2010.
Poisk,also known as the Mini-Research Module 2,Малыйисследовательскиймодуль2,or МИМ2,is a docking module of the International Space Station. Its original name was Docking Module 2,as it is almost identical to the Pirs Docking Compartment. Added in 2009,Poisk was the first major Russian addition to the International Space Station since 2001. Poisk is overall the same design as the docking module Pirs. Whereas Pirs was attached to the nadir ("bottom") port of Zvezda,Poisk is attached to the zenith ("top");Pirs was closer to the Earth with the ISS in its usual orientation,and Poisk is on the other side. Poisk is Russian for explore or search. Poisk combines various docking,EVA,and science capabilities. It has two egress hatches for EVAs in addition to the two spacecraft docking ports. Although Poisk is designated as Mini-Research Module 2,it arrived before Mini-Research Module 1 (Rassvet),which had a different design;Poisk looks more like the Pirs docking port,which is not designated as a mini-research module.
Soyuz TMA-18 was a 2010 Soyuz flight to the International Space Station (ISS). TMA-18 was the 105th crewed flight of a Soyuz spacecraft since the first crewed flight in 1967.
Soyuz TMA-20 was a human spaceflight to the International Space Station (ISS) and was part of the Soyuz programme. It lifted off from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan on December 15,2010,and docked with the ISS two days later. The three-person crew of Soyuz TMA-20 –Dmitri Kondratyev,Catherine Coleman and Paolo Nespoli –represented the ISS partner organizations of Roscosmos,NASA and the European Space Agency (ESA). Soyuz TMA-20's crew represented half of the members of Expedition 27;the other three members of the expedition arrived at the station on board Soyuz TMA-21 on April 6,2011. The COSPAR ID of Soyuz TMA-20 was 2010-067A. It is ISS flight 25S.
Expedition 27 was the 27th long-duration expedition to the International Space Station (ISS),starting on 16 March 2011. Expedition 27 saw numerous notable events,including the undocking of the Progress M-09M and Kounotori 2 spacecraft,the arrival of the Soyuz TMA-21 and Progress M-10M spacecraft,and the final rendezvous with the ISS of NASA's Space Shuttle Endeavour,on its last mission,STS-134. The expedition ended on 23 May 2011 with the departure of the Soyuz TMA-20 spacecraft,although command of the station was ceremonially handed over to the crew of Expedition 28 on 22 May.
