Their mission represented a strong example of the ISS partnership at work, combining Russian Soyuz operations with NASA and ESA long-duration crew members. The backup crew—Shkaplerov, Cristoforetti, and Virts—later flew together as the Soyuz TMA-15M crew and became the principal Expedition 42\/43 team, making this photograph an especially attractive bridge between two consecutive ISS expeditions.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe central signature is that of \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eReid Wiseman\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, whose importance has grown considerably beyond his first spaceflight.
