Mission: Soyuz flight 8S to the International Space Station. The crew included Dutch ESA astronaut André Kuipers. During his stay on ISS André Kuipers worked on a substantial programme of experiments as well as educational and PR activities. The mission also served to exchange the permanent ISS crew; Expedition 9 flew to ISS, Expedition 8 returned to Earth together with Kuipers. Furthermore, the Soyuz, which serves as a rescue vehicle for the resident ISS crew in case of an onboard emergency, was replaced. The Soyuz needs to be replaced every six months.
