Launch: Soyuz TMA-08M March 28, 2013 Landing: September 10, 2013 Launch: Soyuz TMA-09M May 28, 2013 Landing: November 10, 2013 Astronauts: Pavel Vinogradov, Luca Parmitano, Karen Nyberg, Alexander Misurkin, Chris Cassidy and Fyodor Yurchikhin Expedition 36 began with the Soyuz TMA-07M undocking on May 13, 2013. Three new crew members arrived on May 28, 2013, on the Soyuz TMA-09M. The dynamic design of the Expedition 36 patch portrays the International Space Station's (ISS) iconic solar arrays. The slanted angles denote a kinetic energy leading from the Earth in the lower right to the upper left tip of the triangular shape of the patch, representing the infinite scientific research, education, and long-duration spaceflight capabilities the ISS provides with each mission, as well as our goal for future exploration beyond the Space Station. The numbers 3 and 6 harmoniously intertwine to form expedition number 36 and its gray coloration signifies the unity and neutrality among all of the international partners of the ISS. The blue and gold color scheme of the patch represents the subtle way the central gold orbit wraps around the number 36 to form a trident at its lower right tip. The trident also symbolizes the sea, air, and land, all of which make up the Earth from where the trident originates in the design. ( #.VCBtDBCa-So )
