His crewmates, all flight engineers, include: Roscosmos cosmonauts Alexander Skvortsov, Oleg Artemyev and Maxim Suraev, NASA astronaut Reid Wiseman and European Space Agency (ESA) astronaut Alexander Gerst. The Expedition 40 patch depicts the past, present, and future of human space exploration. The crew wrote the description, as follows: The reliable and proven Soyuz, our ride to the International Space Station (ISS), is a part of the past, present, and future. The ISS is the culmination of an enormous effort by many countries partnering to produce a first-class orbiting laboratory, and its image represents the current state of space exploration. The ISS is immensely significant to us as our home away from home and our oasis in the sky. The commercial cargo vehicle is also part of the current human space exploration and is a link to the future. A blend of legacy and future technologies is being used to create the next spacecrafts which will carry humans from our planet to destinations beyond. The sun on Earth’s horizon represents the new achievements and technologies that will come about due to our continued effort in space exploration.</BLOCKQUOTE>
