Biological samples were collected and assessments were performed in order to establish baselines. Comparison samples were taken throughout their stay in space and will continue for a year or more after their return to Earth. Kelly\u2019s identical twin brother, former NASA astronaut Mark Kelly, participated in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/twins-study\/\" rel=\"noopener\">parallel twin studies<\/a> on Earth to provide scientists more bases for comparisons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>ISS Expedition 47 officially begins, under Kopra\u2019s command, when the Soyuz carrying Kelly, Kornienko and Sergey Volkov undocks from the space station. Kopra, Yuri Malenchenko of Roscosmos and Tim Peake of ESA (European Space Agency), will operate the station as a three-person crew until the arrival of three new crew members in two weeks. NASA astronaut Jeff Williams and Roscosmos cosmonauts Alexey Ovchinin and Oleg Skripochka are scheduled to launch from Baikonur, Kazakhstan, on March 18 EST.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For NASA TV streaming video and schedule, visit:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/nasatv <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For more information about the International Space Station, visit:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/station <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>-end-<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tabatha Thompson<br>\nHeadquarters, Washington<br>\n202-358-1100<br>\ntabatha.t.thompson@nasa.gov<br>\nDan Huot<br>\nJohnson Space Center, Houston<br>\n281-483-5111<br>\ndaniel.g.huot@nasa.gov<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>NASA Television will provide complete coverage Tuesday, March 1, as three crew members depart the International Space Station, including NASA astronaut Scott Kelly and cosmonaut Mikhail Kornienko of the Russian space agency Roscosmos \u2013 the station\u2019s first one-year crew.
