The International Space Station's (ISS) Expedition 47 begins with the scheduled undocking of Soyuz TMA-18M in March 2016. New crew members will arrive shortly thereafter on Soyuz TMA-20M.
Expedition 47 will be commanded by Roscosmos cosmonaut Yuri Malenchenko. His crewmates include Roscosmos cosmonauts Alexei Ovchinin and Oleg Skripochka, NASA astronauts Tim Kopra and Jeff Williams, and European Space Agency astronaut Tim Peake.
The Expedition 47 insignia was designed by artists Tim Gagnon and Jorge Cartes.
"The crew wanted a simple design that illustrated looking up at the ISS as they approach in their Soyuz," Tim writes. "The patch is in fact a stylized Sokol helmet."
"The inspiration for this view of the station, why the Bat-Signal of course."
