The ISS Expedition 20 marks a new era in space exploration with the first six-person crew living and working on the ISS supported by an international team, both on the ground and in orbit. All five of the international partner agencies - NASA, the Russian Federal Space Agency (FSA Roscosmos), the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA), the European Space Agency (ESA) and the Canadian Space Agency (CSA) - will be represented on orbit for the first time.
