Expedition Report

Launch from the Baikonur Cosmodrome (Oleg Kotov, Soichi Noguchi and Timothy Creamer with Soyuz TMA-17). Jeffrey Williams and Maksim Surayev were onboard since October 02, 2009 (arrival with Soyuz TMA-16).

The only EVA in this expedition by Maksim Surayev and Oleg Kotov occured on January 14, 2010 (5h 44m) to prepare the Mini-Research Module 2, known as Poisk, for future Russian vehicle dockings.

On January 21, 2010 Maksim Surayev and space station commander Jeffrey Williams climbed into the Soyuz spacecraft on the aft end of the Zvezda service module, undocked and relocated the capsule to the Poisk docking port on top side of the complex.

Astronauts took again control of the robot arm January 23, 2010 to move a U.S. docking part called Pressurized Mating Adapter No. 3 from the port side of the Unity module to the space-facing berthing location on Node 2, or the Harmony module. That operation was need clear room for the Tranquility module, or Node 3, to be attached to the port side of Unity.

On February 10, 2010 STS-130 arrived at the ISS together with the new Tranquility (formerly: NODE 3) and Cupola, a robotic control station with six windows around its sides and another in the center, providing a 360-degree view around the station.
