L-R: Thomas Pesquet, Peggy Whitson, Oleg Novitskiy
Mission patch
Soyuz MS-03 took off from Baikonur in Kazakhstan, November 17, 2016. On board were Oleg Novitskiy (Russia), Thomas Pesquet (France) and Peggy Whitson (Iowa). Peggy was the oldest woman to go into space, but I don't know of anyone who will actually say that to her. ;)
Soyuz MS-03 traveled to the International Space Station, docking on November 19. It undocked June 2, 2017 bringing Pesquet and Novitskiy back to Earth. Whitson stayed on the ISS until September 3.
