NewsCrew of spacecraft Soyuz TMA-15M returned to EarthJune 11, 2015The descent vehicle of spacecraft Soyuz TMA-15M carrying the International Space Station (ISS) Expedition 42/43 crew made a successful landing 148 km to the South East of Dzhezkazgan (Kazakhstan). The touch-down occurred at 16:43 Moscow Time. The crew consists of Russian cosmonaut Anton Shkaplerov, ESA astronaut Samantha Cristoforetti, as well as NASA astronaut Terry Virts. The manned transportation spacecraft Soyuz TMA-15M built by RSC Energia was launched to the ISS using Soyuz-FG launch vehicle on November 24, 2014 from the Baikonur launch site. During the Increment cosmonaut Anton Shkaplerov took part in operations with Russian transport cargo vehicles "Progress М-М", European logistics spacecraft ATV and supported docking of manned spacecraft "Soyuz ТМА-16М" to the Station. During the ISS mission А. Shkaplerov performed about 50 applied scientific investigations and experiments, photo and video imagery of the ISS. Until the arrival of participants in the next expedition to the ISS, the station will be manned by the crew consisting of Gennady Padalka (Roscosmos), Mikhail Kornienko (Roscosmos) and Scott Kelly (NASA). The manned transportation spacecraft (MTS) of a new series "Soyuz TMA-M" developed and built by RSC Energia is an upgraded version of Soyuz TMA. New devices of the motion control and navigation system, advanced onboard measurement system are installed in the spacecraft. All devices are manufactured using modern electronic-component base and completed with the latest software. As a result of the spacecraft upgrade the onboard hardware mass was reduced, and thus the payload ascent capacities were advanced. The spacecraft is designed to deliver crews of up to three crewmembers and associated cargo to the International Space Station (ISS) and return them to Earth. While being docked to the ISS, "Soyuz TMA-M" serves as a crew rescue vehicle and is maintained in a constant readiness for urgent crew descent to Earth. This may be necessary in the event of an emergency situation aboard the station, illness or injury of any of the crew members.
OAO RSC Energia is a leading enterprise of rocket-space industry, the prime organization for manned space systems. The Corporation is engaged in the development of unmanned space - rocket systems (launch vehicles and interorbital transfer), high-tech special-purpose systems for use in non-space fields. Since August 2014, the Corporation is headed by Vladimir Lvovich Solntsev.
