    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.
