Expedition 33 is under way as Commander Suni Williams and Flight Engineers Aki Hoshide and Yuri Malenchenko continue their stay until Nov. 12. The station’s newest trio began their mission when they docked their Soyuz TMA-05M spacecraft to the Rassvet module on July 17.

A new crew is set to join Expedition 33 when Flight Engineers Kevin Ford, Oleg Novitskiy and Evgeny Tarelkin launch Oct. 23 aboard the Soyuz TMA-06M spacecraft. Ford will command Expedition 34 when Williams, Hoshide and Malenchenko complete their mission.
