TMA-11M - 4" - TsENKI

Soyuz TMA-11M was a 2013 flight to the International Space Station. It transported three members of the Expedition 38 crew to the International Space Station. TMA-11M is the 120th flight of a Soyuz spacecraft, with the first flight launching in 1967. The successful docking of the Soyuz TMA-11M spacecraft on November 7, 2013 marked the first time since October 2009 that nine people have resided on the space station without the presence of a space shuttle.

 

The rocket and spacecraft applied Olympic symbols on the cowl of the ship. During mission, the Olympic torch has been passed for the first time in open space, Russian cosmonauts Oleg Kotov and Sergey Ryazansky passed it at the outlet of the International Space Station.

 

Like Tyurin's earlier Soyuz TMA-9 patch, this design features the MAI 6th logo — the faculty of the Moscow Aviation Institute that he graduated from. Also pictured is an Olympic flame, for this flight will deliver to the ISS the Sochi 2014 torch.
