Soyuz TMA-22 The Soyuz TMA-22 mission is on its way backfrom the ISS It is projected to land on April 27th 2012 It is bringing ISS Mission crew 29 to the ISSmore data when it lands 11. ISS It is the ninth space station in orbit It is a modular structure The first module was launched in 1998 You can see it without a telescope It is in low earth orbit It has funding through 2020 There is a solar array on it There is a Russian side and a US side 12.
