Soyuz TMA-13

Soyuz TMA-13 (Russian: Союз ТМА-13, Union TMA-13) was a Soyuz mission to the International Space Station (ISS). The spacecraft was launched by a Soyuz-FG rocket at 07:01 GMT on 12 October 2008. It undocked at 02:55 GMT on 8 April 2009, performed a deorbit burn at 06:24, and landed at 07:16. By some counts, Soyuz TMA-13 is the 100th Soyuz spacecraft to be crewed.[3]

Crew notes

Richard Garriott flew on TMA-13 as a guest of the Russian government through a spaceflight participant program run by Space Adventures.[4] His role aboard the Soyuz is referred to as a Spaceflight Participant in English-language Russian Federal Space Agency documents, and NASA documents and press briefings.[9]
Salizhan Sharipov had originally been assigned to command this Soyuz flight and participate in Expedition 18, but was replaced by Yury Lonchakov.[10]
