AKA: Achat;ISS EO-16;ISS-15S. Launched: 2007-10-10. Returned: 2008-04-19. Number crew: 2 . Duration: 191.80 days.

Six-month, long-term, resident crew of the International Space Station.

The EO-16 ISS long duration crew consisted of two persons. NASA astronaut Clayton Anderson remained aboard the ISS after the return of the EO-15 crew and worked with the EO-16 crew. Clayton Anderson was replaced Daniel Tani (USA) via Space Shuttle flight STS-120/ISS-10A. Tani in turn was replaced with Leopold Eyharts (ESA, France) via Space Shuttle flight STS-122 / ISS-1E and finally Eyharts was replaced with Garrett Reisman (USA) via Space Shuttle flight STS-123 / ISS-1J/A.

Originally planned EO-16 launch date was 10 October 2007; return date was 19 April 2008; and total mission duration 191 days. The program for ISS long duration crew EO-16 was as follows:

• Launch of two EO-16 crewmembers and one space tourist (EP-13 - Malaysia) aboard Soyuz TMA-11 in flight 15S
• Docking of Soyuz TMA-11 to the ISS docking port of the Functional Cargo Module (FGB) Zarya
• Operational support for loading and undocking of Soyuz TMA-10 from the Instrument Compartment of the ISS Service Module Zvezda (IC-SM). Soyuz TMA-10 would return the EP-13 tourist and EO-15 crew to earth. Aboard the station would remain the EO-16 crew and NASA astronaut Anderson who worked with both the EO-15 and EO-16 crews.
• Operational support for docking of the Space Shuttle STS-120 in flight ISS-10A. Rotation of one EO-16 NASA crewmember by the Shuttle in flight 10A
• Operational support for docking of the Space Shuttle in flight STS-122 / 1E. Rotation of one ISS-16 NASA crewmember via this Shuttle in flight 1E
• Operational support for docking of Progress M-62 to Docking Compartment DC1 Pirs and its unloading;
• Operational support for docking of the Space Shuttle in flight STS-123 / 1J/A. Rotation of one ISS-16 NASA crewmember by the Shuttle in flight 1J/A
• Operational support for docking of Progress M-63 to DC1 and its unloading;
• Loading and undocking of Progress M-61 and Progress M-62 from DC1
• Support of the Space Station functionality
• Performance of extravehicular activities to support station assembly and maintenance: three US EVA's from the ISS USOS and one Russian EVA from the ISS Russian Segment
• Performance of Russian science and application research program and experiments (SVS, Crystallizator, Relaksatsia, Uragan, Bar, Ekon, Plasma-MKS, Ten'-Mayak, Cardio-ODNT, Profilaktika, Sonocard, Pilot, Dykhanie, Pnevmocard, BIMS, Biorisk, Akvarium, Rastenia, Plasmida, Prognos, Matroshka-R, Diatomeya, Glikoproteid, Mimetik-K, KAF, Vaktsina-K, Lactolen, ARIL, OChB, Biotrek, Conjugatsia, Biodegradatsia, Bioecologia, Bioemulsiya, Interleikin-K, Astrovakcina, Zhenshen-2, Antigen, Vector-T, Izgib, Plasma Crystal, Identifikatsiya, Sreda, BTN-Neutron, MATI-75) as well as contract-based commercial activities (GTS-2, GCF-JAXA, JAXA 3DPC-2);
• Implementation of the Malaysian experimental program under the ANGKASA MSM Project (ETD-M, MOP-M, MUSCLE-M, FIS, CIS, MIS, PCS, TOP) onboard the ISS during the EP-13 mission
• Operational support of docking of Soyuz TMA-12 with the EO-17 crew and a Korean astronaut (EP-14) aboard
• Crew handover to EO-17 and return of the two EO-16 crewmembers and the EP-14 astronaut aboard Soyuz TMA-11

Soyuz TMA-11 delivered the EO-16 crew of Whitson and Malenchenko and EP-13 space tourist Shukor to the International Space Station. The Soyuz docked at the Zarya module at 14:50 GMT on 12 October. Whitson was EO-16 commander, with third astronaut Clay Anderson remaining aboard the station after the EO-15 crew and Shukor returned to earth on Soyuz TMA-10.

Malenchenko and Whitson, together with visiting Korean astronaut Yi, who had been delivered to the ISS by Soyuz TMA-12, undocked from the station aboard Soyuz TMA-11 at 05:06 GMT on 19 April 2008. Following the deorbit burn at 07:40 GMT the aft service module of the Soyuz failed to separate and the spacecraft began re-entry in a reversed position, with the forward hatch taking the initial re-entry heating. As was the case with Soyuz 5 in 1970, the connections with the service module finally melted away, and the freed capsule righted itself aerodynamically with the heat shield taking the brunt of the re-entry heating. However the crew experienced a rough ride, a ballistic re-entry of over 8 G's force, smoke in the cabin, a failure of the soft landing system, and a very hard landing. They landed 470 km short of the target point at 50 deg 31" N, 61 deg 7" E at 08:29 GMT. A small grass fire was started at the landing point and the injured crew had to be helped from the capsule by passers-by. Malenchenko and Whitson suffered no permanent injury, but Yi was hit by Whitson's personal effects bag on impact and required physical therapy for neck and spine injuries.

  The astronauts emerged from the Quest hatch at 08:44 GMT. They assisted in the mating of the P6 to P5 trusses and deployment of a radiator from P6. Wheelock transferred a spare Main Bus Switching Unit (MBSU) from the Shuttle bay to the External Stowage Platform 3 (ESP3). P6 solar array wing 2B was successfully redeployed; but deployment of array 4B had to be halted when a tear developed in the solar panel.

  The astronauts emerged from the Quest hatch and rode the ISS Canadarm II 50 m out to the snagged P6 solar array. Parazynski cut a snagged wire and installed homemade stabilizers designed to strengthen the array's structure and stability in the vicinity of the damage. Wheelock helped from the truss by keeping an eye on the distance between Parazynski and the array. Afterwards they observed as ground controllers completed successful extension of the array.
