ISS038-E-068952 (10 March 2014) — In the Zvezda service module of the International Space Station, three members of the Expedition 38 crew give a simultaneous thumbs up signal, which is perhaps a way of saying, “Our work is done here for now and we’re ready to return home.” From left to right are Expedition 38 Flight Engineer Mike Hopkins of NASA, Commander Oleg Kotov of Russia’s Federal Space Agency (Roscosmos) and Flight Engineer Sergey Ryazanskiy of Roscosmos. Expedition 38/39 Flight Engineer Mikhail Tyurin, representing Roscosmos, prepares to record final activities among the three who are departing and the three (out of frame) who are remaining onboard to finish out their stay on the orbital outpost, as part of the Expedition 39 crew.
