The Cosmonaut Training Center met the participants of the legendary Soviet-American mission "Soyuz-Apollo"

The guys of Expedition 42/43 were lucky enough to have two lovely ladies aboard--Elena Serova, fourth Russian woman in space and Italian ESA astronaut Samantha Cristoforetti. Serova is now a member of the Russian state Duma.

Pamela Melroy


Marsha Ivins
