Launch: Soyuz TMA-02M June 7, 2011 Landing: November 21, 2011 Launch: Soyuz TMA-22 November 13, 2011 Landing: April 27, 2012 Astronauts: Michael Fossom, Sergei Volkov, Anatoly Ivanishin, Anton Shkaplerov, Satoshi Furukawa and Dan Burbank Expedition 29 began with the Soyuz TMA-21 undocking in September 2011. Three new crew members arrived in November on Soyuz TMA-22. On the Expedition 29 patch, the International Space Station (ISS) is shown following the path of the historic 18th century explorer, Captain James Cook, and his ship, Endeavour. During Cook's three main voyages, he explored and mapped major portions of the oceans and coastlines under the flight path of the ISS and added immeasurably to the body of knowledge of that time. As the ISS sails a stardust trail -- following the spirit of Endeavour sailing toward the dark unknown and new discoveries -- it enlightens Earth below. Through the centuries, the quest for new discoveries has been a significant element of the human character, inspiring us to endure hardships and separation to be part of a mission which is greater than any individual. A spokesman for the crew stated, "The crew of Expedition 29 is proud to continue the journey in this greatest of all human endeavors." www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/station/expeditions/expedition...
