NewsThe crew of Soyuz TMA-20M approved by the State CommissionMarch 17, 2015Today, March 17, the state commission at the Baikonur launch site approved the lists of the main and the backup crews of the manned transportation spacecraft Soyuz TMA-20M and confirmed the readiness of the integrated space launch system Soyuz-FG/Soyuz TMA-20M and its ground infrastructure for the forthcoming launch. The main crew of Soyuz TMA-20M consists of cosmonauts Alexei Ovchinin (spacecraft commander, Roscosmos), Oleg Skripochka (flight engineer, Roscosmos) and astronaut Jeffrey Williams (flight engineer-2, NASA). Approved as their backup crew are Sergei Ryzhikov (crew commander, Roscosmos), Andrei Borisenko (flight engineer, Roscosmos) and Robert Kimbrough (flight engineer-2, NASA). The launch of the Soyuz TMA-20M with the crew of the next expedition to the International Space Station is scheduled for March 19 from Area No. 1 ('Gagarin's launch pad') of the Baikonur Cosmodrome. The manned transportation spacecraft of the new series Soyuz TMA-M developed and built by RSC Energia is an upgraded version of the Soyuz TMA spacecraft. It is equipped with new devices for the motion control and navigation system and an improved onboard measurement system. All the devices are built around state-of-the-art electronic components and run the latest software. The upgrade made it possible to reduce the mass of the onboard equipment and thus enhance the capability to deliver payload to orbit. The spacecraft is designed to deliver the crews of up to three and their accompanying cargoes to the International Space Station (ISS), as well as to return them to Earth. When attached to the ISS, Soyuz TMA-M serves as a crew rescue vehicle and is kept permanently ready for emergency crew return to Earth.
Joint Stock Company RSC Energia is the leader in the rocket and space industry, and the prime contractor for manned space systems. The Corporation conducts work on the development of unmanned space and rocket systems (launch vehicles and orbital transfer vehicles), and high-technology systems for various non-space applications. Since August 2014, the Corporation is headed by Vladimir Solntsev.
