Soyuz spacecraft launched from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan. Once they arrived at the Space Station, the new team replaced the Expedition 10 crew of Leroy Chiao and Salizhan Sharipov, who had been aboard the ISS since Oct. 15, 2004. Joining the Expedition 11 crew aboard Soyuz TMA-6 was European Space Agency Astronaut Roberto Vittori, an Italian Air Force pilot. He spent eight days on the Station, conducting a variety of experiments before returning home with Chiao and Sharipov. During the Expedition 11 mission, 15 scientifi c investigations are planned, most of which United Space Alliance Training Team member Oscar focus on how the human body changes and Koehler, left, assists Cosmonaut Sergei Krikalev, adapts to the microgravity environment of Orbiting 221 miles above the Earth, the International Space Station is seen with the Port One truss and right, and astronaut John Phillips as they participate space.

With the launch of Soyuz TM-31 and the Expedition-1 crew on October 31, 2000, the ISS has been continuously manned. Their main work was to activate the critical life sup- port systems and conduct the first scientific work onboard the space station.

    EXPEDITION 10 PAVING THE ROAD FOR EXPLORATION The tenth expedition crew to the International Space Station (ISS) was launched from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan aboard a Russian Soyuz spacecraft in October 2004. During their six-month mission aboard the ISS, the crew will live and conduct research that is critical to the advancement of human space exploration.. The nation’s Vision for Space Exploration is a stepping stone approach to exploring space that calls for returning the Shuttle to safe flight, completing assembly of the ISS, building a new Crew Exploration Vehicle, then returning astronauts to the Moon, and eventually exploring Mars and beyond. The ISS will serve as an Exploration Laboratory to help better understand and ultimately mitigate the effects of long duration space flight. American Commander and ISS Science Officer Leroy Chiao, along with Russian Flight Engineer and Soyuz Commander Salizhan Sharipov, lifted off to the Space Station aboard the Soyuz TMA-5 to replace the Expedition 9 crew of Gennady Padalka and Michael Fincke, Backed by the blackness of space and Earth’s horizon, this view of the who had been aboard the ISS since April 21, 2004.
