Expedition 21/STS-129 Crew Portrait in the US Lab

ISS021-E-032724 (24 Nov. 2009) --- One of the last occasions for these twelve internationally-represented astronauts and cosmonauts to spend time together in space was topped off with a series of group portraits aboard the International Space Station. The group includes the seven STS-129 Atlantis astronauts Charles O. Hobaugh, commander; Barry E. Wilmore, pilot; and Nicole Stott, Mike Foreman, Leland Melvin, Robert L. Satcher Jr. and Randy Bresnik, all mission specialists, plus the five ISS crew members, Jeffrey Williams, the European Space Agency’s Frank De Winne, the Canadian Space agency’s Robert Thirsk and Russia’s Federal Space Agency cosmonauts Roman Romanenko and Maxim Suraev. The dozen are wrapping up almost a full week sharing duties, tasks and chores aimed toward complete development of the orbital outpost.
