During ISS-41/42 Elena Serova, Alexander Samokutyaev and Barry Wilmore have been working over 50 scientific experiments, maintaining health station and resupplying the ISS with equipment delivered by cargo ships. In particular, Serova successfully conducted a unique experiment "VIZIR", during which she was able to take a picture of any object in the world, so that professionals would be aware of his position, and vice versa - to specify the data to survey the Earth's surface by a special method.
