Expedition Report

Launch from the Baikonur Cosmodrome (Oleg Novitsky, Yevgeni Tarelkin and Kevin Ford with Soyuz TMA-06M). Yuri Malenchenko, Sunita Williams and Akihiko Hoshide were onboard since July 17, 2012 (arrival with Soyuz TMA-05M).

On October 08, 2012 occurred the launch of the SpaceX Dragon cargo craft. Two days later, on October 10, 2012, using the International Space Station’s Canadian-built robotic arm, Expedition 33 Flight Engineer Akihiko Hoshide captured the unmanned craft. He was assisted by Sunita Williams. Later, the astronauts berthed Dragon to the Harmony module.

On October 28, 2012 the SpaceX Dragon cargo craft undocked from the International Space Station.

Sunita Williams and Akihiko Hoshide performed a spacewalk on November 01, 2012 (6h 38m). The astronauts repaired an ammonia leak on one of the station's port-side radiators.
