Expedition 20 is the twentieth long duration flight to the International Space Station. Soyuz TMA-15 launched from Baikonur Cosmodrome at 10:34 UTC on May 27, 2009.[1] The vehicle docked with the station on May 29, 2009, officially changing the station crew from Expedition 19 to Expedition 20.[2]
Expedition 20 was the first time that six crew members are at the station. To accomplish the six member crew, there were two separate Soyuz-TMA flights launched at two different times (each Soyuz-TMA can hold only three people): Soyuz TMA-14 launched the Expedition 19 crew on March 26, 2009, and Soyuz TMA-15 on May 27, 2009.
Gennady Padalka is the first commander of a six member station crew, and the first commander of two consecutive expeditions (Expedition 19 and 20). Nicole Stott will be the final expedition astronaut to be launched on the shuttle.
