ESA astronaut Samantha Cristoforetti during a tour of Red Square and the Kremlin in Moscow, Russia. All astronauts that fly on a Soyuz spacecraft traditionally visit the Red Square and pay respects to previous Russian cosmonauts.

Samantha will be launched with NASA astronaut Terry Wirts and Roscosmos cosmonaut Anton Shkaplerov on 23 November at 20:59 GMT (21:59 CET; 24 November 02:59 local time) from Baikonur in Kazakhstan.
