In the Gagarin Museum at the Gagarin Cosmonaut Training Center in Star City, Russia May 14, Expedition 56 backup crew member David Saint-Jacques of the Canadian Space Agency mimics the position he will be in when he launches aboard a Soyuz rocket later this year during pre-launch activities. Saint-Jacques is serving as a backup to prime crewmembers Serena Auñón-Chancellor of NASA, Alexander Gerst of the European Space Agency and Sergey Prokopyev of Roscosmos, who will launch June 6 from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan on the Soyuz MS-09 spacecraft for a six month mission on the International Space Station.
