15 years ago, on November 2, 2000, the crew of the first main expedition arrived on board the International Space Station - Commander William Shepherd, pilot Yuri Gidzenko and flight engineer Sergei Krikalev. Today, the 45th expedition is already working on the ISS.

During their work on the ISS, crew members transmitted more than 2.7 million images to Earth. For the anniversary of the arrival of the first expedition, the NASA photo lab posted the best of them.
