| Expedition 15 Crew | |
Expedition 15 is the 15th expedition to the International Space Station (ISS). Four crew members are scheduled to participate in the expedition, although for most of the expedition's duration only three will be on the station at any one time. During Expedition 15, the ISS Integrated Truss Structure was expanded twice: STS-117 brought the S3/S4 truss, and STS-118 brought the S5 truss.
Crew
Flight Engineer Sunita Williams was the first to arrive. She participated in Expedition 14 until Expedition 15 Commander Fyodor Yurchikhin assumed command of the station. Williams was brought to the station 11 December, 2006 aboard the Space Shuttle Discovery flight STS-116. Yurchikhin and Flight Engineer Oleg Kotov arrived the station on 9 April, 2007 aboard Soyuz TMA-10.On 26 April, 2007, NASA announced that Williams would return to Earth on STS-117, flown by Space Shuttle Atlantis, instead of STS-118 as originally planned.[1] Williams was replaced by Clayton Anderson, who arrived at the station aboard Atlantis, which docked on 10 June.
Expedition 15 will end after Expedition 16 Commander Peggy Whitson arrives at the station aboard Soyuz TMA-11 and the two crews complete the station hand-over.
