The next journey to the ISS begins in the Kazakh steppe
In short: Watch as the Expedition 27 crew prepares for their voyage to the International Space Station. This video captures the transition from Earth-bound training to the final departure for the Baikonur Cosmodrome.
NASA Flight Engineer Ron Garan joins Russian Flight Engineers Andrey Borisenko and Alexander Samokutyaev as part of a collaborative mission to the International Space Station. Following the conclusion of land-based training, the team held an official event within Russia's Star City at the Gagarin Cosmonaut Training Center.
The team is scheduled to launch from Kazakhstan next month aboard the Soyuz TMA-21 spacecraft. This mission highlights the ongoing international cooperation required to maintain a human presence in low Earth orbit.
