After the failure to launch the Progress M-12M shuttle last 24th of August, Roscosmos, the Russian space agency, has re-scheduled the departure of the Soyuz TMA-22 for next November 14. It will transport to the ISS (International Space Station) the new crew members for the Expedition 29 mission, which will also mark the last flight of the Soyuz TMA, being now replaced by modernised TMA-M.

On board there will be the Russian cosmonauts Anton Shkaplerov and Anatoly Ivanishin, together with the American colleague, Daniel Burbank of NASA. The delivery period will last five days and the new crew members will remain on the Station for 124 days.
