On September 11, 2015 at 21:29 UTC (on September 12 at 00:29 Moscow time) the Russian “Soyuz TMA-16M” spacecraft undocked from the "Zvezda” module of the International Space Station to deliver to Earth the crew of 3 cosmonauts: Russian cosmonaut Gennadiy Padalka a member of Expedition 44; Danish astronaut Andreas Mogensen and Kazakhstan cosmonaut Aidyn Aimbetov both the members of Guest Expedition 18.

On September 04, 2015 at 07:39 UTC the "Soyuz TMA-18M” spacecraft docked with the Russian "Poisk” (MIM-2) module of the International Space Station in automatic regime. The Soyuz TMA-18M delivered three new members of Expedition 45 to the ISS, Russian cosmonaut Sergey Volkov, Danish astronaut Andreas Mogensen and Kazakhstan cosmonaut Aidyn Aimbetov. The new comers joined current ISS expedition members – Russian cosmonauts Gennadiy Padalka, Mikhail Kornienko and Oleg Kononenko; American astronauts Scott Kelly and Kjell Lindgren; Japanese astronaut Kimiya Yui (油井 亀美也) to form the station’s crew of 9 members (so-called Expedition 44 and a half). When on September 12, 2015 Gennadiy Padalka, Andreas Mogensen and Aidyn Aimbetov return to Earth, the 6 others (Mikhail Kornienko, Oleg Kononenko, Sergey Volkov, Scott Kelly, Kjell Lindgren and Kimiya Yui) will form Expedition 45 crew. ...

On August 28, 2015 the "Soyuz TMA-16M” spacecraft was redocked from the "Poisk” (MIM-2) module to the "Zvezda” module of the International Space Station. The operation was carried out manually by Soyuz commander, Russian cosmonaut Gennadiy Padalka. During the redocking the crew also consisted of Russian cosmonaut Mikhail Kornienko and American astronauts Scott Kelly. Three other crew members – Russian cosmonaut Oleg Kononenko, Japanese astronaut Kimiya Yui (油井 亀美也) and American astronaut Kjell Lindgren - were in the station following the redocking operation. The Soyuz TMA-16M undocked from the station at 07:12 UTC. The redocking mission lasted 18 minutes. At 07:30 UTC the spacecraft docked to the docking port of the "Zvezda” module. The docking port of the "Poisk” module is to be occupied by the Soyuz TMA-18M manned spacecraft, which is scheduled for lau ... Read more »
