Wearing Russian Sokol suits, the Soyuz TMA-5 crew takes a break from training to pose for a portrait at the Gagarin Cosmonaut Training Center in Star City, Russia. The crew members are, from the left, Russian Space Forces cosmonaut Yuri Shargin; cosmonaut Salizhan S. Sharipov, representing Russia's Federal Space Agency; and astronaut Leroy Chiao. Chiao and Sharipov are scheduled to remain onboard the International Space Station for approximately six months following their Soyuz launch in October, while Shargin will spend eight days on the orbital complex, returning with the Expedition 9 crew.
