Expedition 34 Preflight

Expedition 34/35 Flight Engineer Chris Hadfield of the Canadian Space Agency (CSA) waves goodbye as he boards the bus that will take him to the launch pad where he and his fellow crew mates will board their Soyuz TMA-07M rocket, on Wednesday, Dec. 19, 2012, in Baikonur, Kazakhstan. The crew are donning special cold-weather suits over their Sokol suits to keep them insulated from the extreme sub-zero temperature. Launch of the Soyuz rocket will send Hadfield, Romanenko and Marshburn on a five-month mission aboard the International Space Station. Photo Credit: (NASA/Victor Zelentsov)
