Expedition Report

Launch from the Baikonur Cosmodrome (Skvortsov, Korniyenko and Caldwell-Dyson with Soyuz TMA-18). Kotov, Noguchi and Creamer were onboard since 22.12.2009 (arrival with Soyuz TMA-17).

On May 12, 2010 the International Space Station residents moved the Soyuz TMA-17 capsule from one docking port to another, freeing up the spot where space shuttle Atlantis' astronauts (STS-132) will install the new Rassvet module.
