ISS: Expedition 29

Start vom Kosmodrom Baikonur (Anton Schkaplerow, Anatoli Iwanischin und Daniel Burbank mit Sojus TMA-22). Sergej Wolkow, Michael Fossum und Satoshi Furukawa waren seit dem 09. Juni 2011 an Bord der Raumstation (Ankunft mit Sojus TMA-02M).

Die ISS Expedition 29 begann mit der Abkopplung des russischen Raumschiffs Sojus TMA-21 am 16. September 2011 um 00:38:12 UTC, das die vorhergehende Stationsbesatzung (Alexander Samokutajew, Andrej Borissenko und Ronald Garan) zurück zur Erde brachte.

Ursprünglich sollte der zweite Teil der Mannschaft (Anton Schkaplerow, Anatoli Iwanischin und Daniel Burbank) am 22. September 2011 mit Sojus TMA-22 starten. Nach der Fehlzündung der dritten Stufe der Sojus-U-Rakete von Progress M-12M am 24. August 2011 wurde die Mission in den November 2011 verschoben, um zuerst die Ursache des Fehlstarts ermitteln zu können. Der Start erfolgte schließlich am 14. November 2011, das Raumschiff dockte am 16. November 2011 an der Raumstation an.
Michael Fossum, Satoshi Furukawa und Sergej Wolkow blieb nur eine knappe Woche, die ISS an ihre Kollegen Daniel Burbank, Anton Schkaplerow und Anatoli Iwanischin zu übergeben, da die Landung von Sojus TMA-02M aufgrund widriger Wetter- und Tageslichtbedingungen am Landeplatz in Kasachstan nicht nach dem 22. November 2011 erfolgen konnte. Um die Übergabe zu unterstützen, hatte die Crew von Sojus TMA-02M eine Serie von Videos angefertigt, die der Crew von Sojus TMA-22 den gegenwärtigen Zustand der ISS erklärte.

Der unbemannte russische Frachter Progress M-13M legte am 02. November 2011 um 11:41 UTC an der Internationalen Raumstation an. Er war am 30. Oktober 2011 um 10:11 UTC vom Kosmodrom Baikonur gestartet. Das Transport-Raumschiff brachte 2,9 Tonnen Lebensmittel, Treibstoff und sonstige Ausrüstungsgegenstände, darunter 750 kg Treibstoff, 50 kg Sauerstoff, 420 kg Wasser und 1.410 kg Ersatzteile, Hardware für Experimente und persönliche Gegenstände zur Stammbesatzung. Am 23. Januar 2012 um 22:10 UTC koppelte Progress M-13M wieder ab und brachte danach einen kleinen Satelliten auf eine Umlaufbahn. Der Frachter wurde kontrolliert zum Absturz gebracht und verglühte am 25. Januar 2012 über dem Pazifischen Ozean.

Nach der Übergabe des Kommandos über die Internationale Raumstation von dem amerikanischen Astronauten Michael Fossum an den amerikanischen Astronauten Daniel Burbank legte das Raumschiff Sojus TMA-02M am 21. November 2011 um 23:00:17 UTC mit Sergej Wolkow, Michael Fossum und Satoshi Furukawa an Bord von der Station ab. Die Expedition 29 der ISS war damit beendet und es begann die ISS Expedition 30.
