Soyuz TMA-09M spacecraft launch from Baikonur
The Soyuz TMA-09M spacecraft, launched from the Baikonur cosmodrome, successfully docked in automatic mode with the ISS 29 in May at 06: 16 Moscow time. The planned duration of the expedition will be 172 day. The astronauts will have to complete a rich scientific program from the 34 experiments.

The new 36 / 37 expedition, like the previous 2013 of the year in March, traveled to the International Space Station in a “short” six-hour scheme. Before that, all manned Soyuz spacecraft flew to the ISS for two days. (Photo by NASA | Bill Ingalls):
The main advantage of flying on the 6-hour scheme is that the crew of the spacecraft does not have time to feel weightlessness, because its effect on the body begins to affect approximately after 5 hours of flight. (Photo by NASA | Bill Ingalls):

The astronauts will have to do a lot of research and experimentation on the ISS, take video and photograph, meet space trucks of the Progress series and 6 once to go into outer space. Baikonur Cosmodrome, 29 May 2013. (Photo by NASA | Bill Ingalls):
