ISS043E056045 (03/28/2015) --- Russian cosmonaut Gennady Padalka of the Russian Federal Space Agency (Roscosmos) is first through the hatch of the Soyuz TMA-16M spacecraft into the International Space Station after launching from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan. He is welcomed aboard by Expedition 43 Commander and NASA astronaut Terry Virts. Padalka will serve a normal length tour of duty on the station but his two crewmembers arriving with him, Russian cosmonaut Mikhail Kornienko and NASA astronaut Scott Kelly, will spend a year in space and return to Earth on Soyuz TMA-18M in March 2016.
