Expedition 41 Pressure Check

Expedition 41 Flight Engineer Elena Serova of the Russian Federal Space Agency (Roscosmos) has her Russian Sokol suit pressure checked in preparation for her launch aboard the Soyuz TMA-14M spacecraft on Thursday, Sept. 25, 2014, at the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Baikonur, Kazakhstan. Launch of the Soyuz rocket is scheduled for the early hours of Sept. 26 (Kazakhstan time) and will carry Serova and fellow crewmates, Soyuz Commander Alexander Samokutyaev of Roscosmos and Flight Engineer Barry Wilmore of NASA, into orbit to begin their five and a half month mission on the International Space Station. Serova will become the fourth Russian woman to fly in space and the first Russian woman to live and work on the station. Photo Credit: (NASA/Aubrey Gemignani)
