Expedition 28 is underway at the International Space Station (ISS) and the orbiting complex is manned by Russian commander Andrey Borisenko and flight engineers, Russian Alexander Samokutyaev, American Ron Garan and the new arrivals of American Mike Fossum, Russian Sergey Volkov and Japan's Satoshi Furukawa.
