Lunch in quarantine (3D image)

Expedition 26/27 prime crew (Cady Coleman, Dmitry Kondratyev, Paolo Nespoli) and the back-up crew (Mike Fossum, Anatoly Ivanishin, Satoshi Furukawa) are having a lunch in the hotel Cosmos in Baikonur, whilst being in quarantine prior the launch.

Paolo Nespoli, ESA's Italian astronaut, will travel to the International Space Station (ISS) on 15 December for a long-duration mission called MagISStra and serve as flight engineer for Expeditions 26 and 27. This will be the third six-month mission by a European astronaut on the Station.
