Right after the Soyuz fit-check while still in the Assembly Building of the Baikonur Cosmodrome, the crew of the Soyuz TMA-20 (Cady Coleman, Dmitry Kondratyev, Paolo Nespoli) answer some questions from the press on 4 December 2010.
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.
