In May, the International Space Station made its 100,000th orbit of the Earth, and it has reached nearly 16 years of continuous human occupancy. Expedition 47 began in March, and will be completed later this month. Astronauts Timothy Kopra, Yuri Malenchenko, Timothy Peake, Aleksey Ovchinin, Oleg Skripochka, and Jeffrey Williams, from the US, UK, and Russia, have been conducting experiments and taking some amazing photographs during their tour in orbit.

The six crew members of Expedition 47 pose for a picture from inside Orbital ATK's Cygnus vehicle. The resupply craft was named the S.S. Rick Husband in honor of Col. Rick Husband, USAF, the commander of Columbia (STS-107), which was lost during reentry years ago on February 1, 2003.
