ISS-Expedition 47 is the mission name for the 47th long-term crew of the International Space Station (ISS). The mission began with the disengagement of the Soyuz TMA-18M spacecraft from the ISS on March 2, 2016. The end was marked by the disengagement of the Soyuz TMA-19M on June 18, 2016.

Taken over from ISS Expedition 46 :

Additionally from March 19, 2016:

The day before the Soyuz TMA-19M undocked with Malenchenko, Peake and Kopra, Williams took command of the ISS . Together with Ovchinin and Skripotschka, he formed the initial crew of the subsequent Expedition 48 .

Substitute team

Since Expedition 20, no official replacement team has been announced due to the permanent training for the six-person crew. Unofficially, the backup crews of the two Soyuz feeder spaceships TMA-19M and TMA-20M (see there) are used as backup crews for Expedition 47. As a rule, these crews are deployed two missions later.

Freight traffic

The unmanned cargo spacecraft Cygnus CRS OA-6 (called "SS Rick Husband ") reached the station on March 26 and was attached to the Unity module using the Canadarm2 robotic arm . The spaceship carried supplies and hardware for Expeditions 47 and 48 to the ISS.

On March 30, the Progress M-29M was disconnected from the Zvezda module after almost six months .

The next spacecraft launched was Progress MS-02 for the ISS. After a two-day solo flight, the transporter docked at the Zvezda module on April 2.

The Dragon CRS-8 spaceship reached the ISS on April 10 and was attached to the Harmony module by Jeff Williams and Tim Peake using the Canadarm2 robotic arm . The cargo also included an inflatable living module from Bigelow Aerospace , the Bigelow Expandable Activity Module or BEAM for short , which was then installed on the ISS. It was the first Dragon flight to the ISS since the CRS-7 mission failed in June 2015.

Dragon CRS-8 was decoupled from the ISS on May 11th. Tim Peake removed the spaceship from the Harmony module using the Canadarm2 robotic arm and launched it into orbit at 13:19 UTC. The capsule watered safely in the Pacific Ocean five hours later .

Cygnus CRS OA-6 (called "SS Rick Husband ") was decoupled from the ISS on June 14th after almost 3 months in space.
