MEDIA ADVISORY M16-068
NASA TV Airs Return of NASA Astronaut, Two Crewmates from Space Station

Three International Space Station crew members are scheduled to depart the orbiting outpost Saturday, June 18. NASA Television will provide coverage of their preparations for departure and return to Earth, beginning at 9:15 a.m. EDT Friday, June 17.

Expedition 47 Commander Tim Kopra of NASA, Flight Engineer Tim Peake of ESA (European Space Agency) and Soyuz Commander Yuri Malenchenko of the Russian space agency Roscosmos will undock their Soyuz TMA-19M spacecraft from the space station at 1:52 a.m. Saturday and land in Kazakhstan at 5:15 a.m. (3:15 p.m. Kazakhstan time).

Their return will wrap up 186 days in space for the crew since their launch in December 2015. Together, the Expedition 47 crew members contributed to hundreds of experiments in biology, biotechnology, physical science and Earth science aboard humanity’s only orbiting laboratory.

NASA TV will air coverage of the departure and landing activities at the following dates and times:

Friday, June 17

    9:15 a.m. -- Change of command ceremony in which Kopra hands over station command to NASA astronaut Jeff Williams
    10:15 p.m. -- Farewell and hatch closure coverage (hatch closure scheduled for 10:35 p.m.)

Saturday, June 18

    1:30 a.m. -- Undocking coverage (undocking scheduled for 1:52 a.m.)
    4 a.m. -- Deorbit burn and landing coverage (deorbit burn scheduled for 4:21 a.m., with landing at 5:15 a.m.)
    7 a.m. -- Video File of hatch closure, undocking and landing activities.
    6 p.m. -- Video File of landing and post-landing activities and post-landing interviews with Kopra and Peake in Kazakhstan.

At the time of undocking, Expedition 48 will begin aboard the station under Williams’ command. Williams and his crewmates Oleg Skripochka and Alexey Ovchinin of Roscosmos, will operate the station for three weeks until the arrival of three new crew members.

NASA astronaut Kate Rubins, Russian cosmonaut Anatoly Ivanishin and Takuya Onishi of the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency are scheduled to launch July 6 (Eastern time) from Baikonur, Kazakhstan.

Press Release
N°26-2016

Paris, 17 June 2016

Call for Media: First press conference with ESA astronaut Tim Peake after return to Earth 

Media are invited to the European Astronaut Centre on 21 June for ESA astronaut Tim Peake’s first public appearance. The one-hour event includes Tim’s first-hand report and covers the science experiments he ran in space.

Tim Peake, NASA astronaut Tim Kopra and Russian Soyuz commander Yuri Malenchenko will return to Earth on Saturday 18 June after six months in space.  After a three-hour journey in their Soyuz spacecraft, they will land on the Kazakh steppe at 09:00 GMT (11:00 CEST).

Tim will continue his journey to the European Astronaut Centre (EAC), the home base of all ESA astronauts, in Cologne, Germany. ESA’s medical team will monitor how he readapts to gravity after months in weightlessness.

Tim will spend his first night back on Earth at the Envihab facility of the DLR German Aerospace Center, where scientists have gathered to continue the science programme, collecting data on Tim’s rehabilitation phase.

Programme and accreditation

The press conference at EAC starts at 11:00 GMT (13:00 CEST). ESA experts will be available for interviews. For operational reasons, there will be no one-to-one interviews with Tim.
For media accreditation, please contact:

Article. A bit slanted towards Tim Peake ;D

https://www.nasaspaceflight.com/2016/06/soyuz-tma-19m-eom-mark-peakes-homecoming/

Gee I wonder why?  Might as well leave the other two "biologic ballast masses" behind as they only deflect attention from Tim Peake.

What are his chances of getting another mission?

I would say it's money well spent for inspiring the young into science alone & raising awareness of the space industry sector in the UK.

Anyway he's been a great advert for the UK & it's good to see him safely back on Earth.

Press Release
N°25-2016

Paris, 18 June 2016

Tim Peake returns to Earth

ESA astronaut Tim Peake, NASA astronaut Tim Kopra and Russian Soyuz commander Yuri Malenchenko landed safely today in the Kazakh steppe after a three-hour ride in their Soyuz spacecraft. They left the International
Space Station at 05:52 GMT at the end of their six-month stay on the research complex.

Soyuz TMA-19M braked from the Station's cruising speed of almost 28 800 km/h and entered the atmosphere shortly afterwards. The crew module separated as planned and parachutes deployed to slow the vehicle even more.

Retrorockets fired moments before landing and springs in the moulded seats reduced the impact of hitting the ground at 09:15 GMT. Teams were on hand within minutes to help them out.

They leave behind three astronauts to look after the Station and run experiments. The next launch to complete the crew is scheduled for 7 July on an upgraded Soyuz with cosmonaut Anatoli Ivanishin, Japanese astronaut
Takuya Onishi and NASA's Kate Rubins.


Principia

Tim Peake's Principia mission was an eventful and busy six months in space. In the first month after his launch on 15 December 2015, Tim conducted a spacewalk. He also drove a rover across a simulated Mars terrain
from space and helped to dock two spacecraft.

Tim took part in numerous experiments for ESA and international partners. Highlights include using the Space Station airlock to study Tim's lungs, monitoring his sleeping patterns to learn how humans adapt to life
without normal daylight, and recording how many calories he consumed to prepare for missions further from Earth.

Many experiments ran continuously while Tim and his crewmates were maintaining the weightless research laboratory. ESA's Expose facility was returned to Earth after submitting organisms and chemicals to 18 months
of travelling unprotected in space on the outside of the Station. 

The Solar facility on Europe's Columbus laboratory module continues to monitor our Sun after eight years of continuous observations. Another facility is tracking ships as the Space Station flies overhead.

Aside from his maintenance and science duties, Tim also enthralled the world via social media and ran a marathon in space. The next ESA astronaut to travel to the Station will be Thomas Pesquet of French nationality,
scheduled for launch in November. 


Back to the European Astronaut Centre

Tim is the eighth ESA astronaut to complete a long-duration mission in space. He will be the third after Alexander Gerst and Andreas Mogensen to fly directly to ESA's astronaut home base in Cologne, Germany, for
medical checks and for researchers to collect more data on how Tim's body and mind have adapted to living in space.

Jeff Williams just called down the remaining crew's thanks and congratulations on their crew mates' successful landing and return.  They watched it live on NASA TV but somehow the channel got changed and they've requested it be put back on :)

Good replay of the actual crew removal with checklists and gloves being passed first through the open top hatch--which looks awfully small.

The shots of the Moon with the Soyuz were epic.  The Nasa PAO should have intoned "That's no moon...." as an ode to Star Wars but I guess many would have missed the joke and started a debate about Nasa admitting the Moon itself is a hoax.

Oh, and congrats to all for a fantastic mission and my usual shout out to nasaspaceflight for awesome coverage.

RELEASE 16-061
Three Space Station Crew Members Return to Earth, Land Safely in Kazakhstan

Three crew members from the International Space Station returned to Earth at 5:15 a.m. EDT (3:15 p.m. Kazakhstan time) Saturday after wrapping up 186 days in space and several NASA research studies in human health.

Expedition 47 Commander Tim Kopra of NASA, flight engineer Tim Peake of ESA (European Space Agency) and Soyuz Commander Yuri Malenchenko of Roscosmos touched down southeast of the remote town of Dzhezkazgan in Kazakhstan.

The crew completed the in-flight portion of NASA human research studies in ocular health, cognition, salivary markers and microbiome. From the potential development of vaccines, to data that could be relevant in the treatment of patients suffering from ocular diseases, such as glaucoma, the research will help NASA prepare for human long-duration exploration while also benefiting people on Earth.

The three crew members also welcomed four cargo spacecraft, including one that delivered the Bigelow Expandable Activity Module (BEAM), an expandable habitat technology demonstration. The BEAM, which arrived in April on the eighth SpaceX commercial resupply mission, was attached to the space station and expanded to its full size for analysis over the next two years. The BEAM is an example of NASA’s increased commitment to partnering with industry to enable the growth of commercial space, and is co-sponsored by the agency’s Advanced Exploration Systems Division and Bigelow Aerospace.

Two Russian Progress cargo craft docked to the station in December and April, bringing tons of supplies. Kopra and Peake also led the grapple of Orbital ATK’s Cygnus spacecraft to the station in March, the company's fourth commercial resupply mission, and the SpaceX Dragon spacecraft in April.

During his time on the orbital complex, Kopra ventured outside for two spacewalks. The objective of the first spacewalk was to move the station’s mobile transporter rail car to a secure position. On the second spacewalk, Kopra and Peake replaced a failed voltage regulator to restore power to one of the station’s eight power channels. Kopra now has 244 days in space on two flights, while Peake spent 186 days in space on this, his first, mission.

Having completed his sixth mission, Malenchenko now has spent 828 cumulative days in space, making him second on the all-time list behind Russian cosmonaut Gennady Padalka.

Expedition 48 continues on the station, with NASA astronaut Jeff Williams in command, with crewmates Oleg Skripochka and Alexey Ovchinin of the Russian space agency Roscosmos. The three-person crew will operate the station for three weeks until the arrival of three new crew members.

NASA astronaut Kate Rubins, Russian cosmonaut Anatoly Ivanishin and Takuya Onishi of the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency are scheduled to launch July 6 (Eastern time) from Baikonur, Kazakhstan.

Sorry but why do you feel the need to degrade the thread with sarcasm. I am not apologising for focussing on him being as he's only the second British astronaut.

And there's Jacques asking a question (about another flight, including SpaceX). Tim looks well prepared by saying he'd like any mission ;D

Jacques question about another mission (including Orion, or commercial - such as SpaceX)

"I think as an astronaut any mission is a good mission, so you can't afford to get fussy. They don't come around very often, so you take anything you can get. Another long duration mission, absolutely. My dream would have to be lunar exploration. I don't think any astronaut would turn that down. I'll be fighting Frank (de Winne) for it (*laugh*), but any mission would be a good mission."

Isn't it unusual for someone to have a NASA patch on their chest pocket and a Russian flag on their shoulder?
I'm referring to the young lady next to Tim Peake.

I looked at other photos and though I couldn't quite make out her nametag, I'm going to guess that she is a Russian medical civilian working for NASA, hence the mix.  She's also wearing a little pin that seems to be a cartoon medical person (either nurse or physician).

Russian corporation Energia hands over to UK descent vehicle of spacecraft

December 5, 2016

Russian company RSC Energia (a part of State Corporation Roscosmos) is handing over to the Science Museum (London, UK) the descent vehicle of the Soyuz TMA-19M spacecraft, in which Timothy Peake, the first UK astronaut onboard the ISS made his flight.

The exhibit is the original descent vehicle of Soyuz TMA-19M spacecraft as it was at the time of landing, with some pieces of flight equipment replaced with their mockups. The preparations were performed under a contract that had been concluded between the Corporation and the supervisory board of the Science Museum.

The ceremony of signing delivery and acceptance certificates was held on December 2, 2016 at RSC Energia.

General Director of Energia Corporation of Russia Vladimir Solntsev: “We are proud of the fact that a spacecraft that had been built at our Corporation and flew into orbit will now take its rightful place in one of the most famous museums of the world. I’m certain that this distinctive symbol of Russia will become one of the key items on display at the museum, and the exhibit containing it will become one of the most visited”. 

Director of the Science Museum Group Ian Blatchford: “Russia was and remains the doubtless leader in space, especially in the field of long-duration space missions. It’s a great honor for me to accept into the collection of the Science Museum the capsule of the Russian manned spacecraft, which delivered a UK astronaut Tim Peake to the ISS. For the museum this is an incredible opportunity to tell the amazing story of Russian achievements in the UK”. 

He noted that for Great Britain the space mission of Timothy Peake was a truly historic event, and thanked Energia for the opportunity to get the British public better acquainted with Russian achievements in space.

The acquisition of the descent vehicle of the Russian manned spacecraft Soyuz TMA-19M continues the work of the Museum which began with the exhibition project Cosmonauts: Birth of the Space Age. The exhibition, which became the most successful exhibition in the history of the Science Museum and attracted 140 thousand visitors in Great Britain, opened in Moscow at VDNKh and will be on till January 2017.

The spacecraft Soyuz TMA-19M was launched to the International Space Station in December 2015. The crew consisted of the spacecraft commander, a Roscosmos cosmonaut Yuri Malenchenko, a NASA astronaut Timothy Kopra, and a British astronaut representing ESA Timothy Peake. On June 18, 2016 the descent vehicle of the spacecraft made a successful landing in Kazakhstan.

The descent vehicle of Soyuz TMA-19M will become the first manned spacecraft that had been into space in the national collection of space hardware of Great Britain.

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, as well as to return them to Earth.

 
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.

ROSCOSMOS is a State Corporation established in August of 2015 in order to conduct a comprehensive reform of the rocket and space industry in Russia. State Corporation Roskosmos assures implementation of the Government policies in the field of space activities and provides for them a legal and regulatory framework, as well as places orders for the development, production and delivery of space hardware and space infrastructure facilities. The functions of the State Corporation also include development of international cooperation in space, and creating conditions for using results of space activities in social and economic development of Russia.

The Science Museum is one of the three major museums dating back to Victorian age on Exhibition Road in South Kensington, London. The Museum was founded in 1857 from surplus items from other exhibitions and museums of the United Kingdom. The current building of the Museum was designed by a Scottish architect Richard Allison and was opened for visitors in stages over a period of 1919 to 1928. The Science Museum now holds a collection of over 300,000 items, including Stephenson's Rocket and Puffing Billy steam locomotives, and Charles Babbage's Difference engine. The Science Museum is made up of a number of galleries, some of which are permanent, and some of which are temporary. On average, the Museum receives three million visitors per year.
