Soyuz TMA-15 was launched successfully by a
Soyuz-FG
carrier rocket
from
Site 1/5
at the
Baikonur Cosmodrome
in
Kazakhstan
, at 10:34 UTC on 27 May 2009. It docked with the ISS at 12:34 UTC on 29 May 2009.
Roman Romanenko
was the third second-generation space traveller. He was reported to have chosen
Taymyr
(
Russian
:
Таймыр
) as the mission callsign because it was the callsign on his
father's
first flight,
Soyuz 26
;
[1]
however, the callsign Parus (
Russian
:
Парус
meaning
Sail
) was used for communications with the spacecraft.

Robert Thirsk became the first Canadian to fly on a Soyuz; all previous Canadians in space had flown aboard
Space Shuttles
.
Frank De Winne
became the first European to be in command of the ISS.
The craft and crew returned to earth 1 December 2009.
