How the Expedition 41 crew managed 165 days aboard the ISS
In short: As Expedition 41 prepares to return to Earth, witness the transition of power to the next crew. This video captures the mission's conclusion and the vital scientific research conducted in microgravity.
The Expedition 41 crew, including Commander Max Suraev, Reid Wiseman, and Alexander Gerst, spent 165 days in space following their launch in late May. Their mission focused on diverse scientific inquiries, ranging from the effects of weightlessness on human muscle and bone to the investigation of meteor composition and plant growth in microgravity.
The crew's activities included complex spacewalks, such as a three-hour and 38-minute excursion on October 22, 2014, performed by Suraev and Alexander Samokutyaev. As they prepare to depart, they hand over the station to the Expedition 42 crew to ensure the continuity of ongoing research.
