Docked at the Rassvet module of the ISS at 02:49 GMT on 24 November 2014 with the crew of Shkaplerov, Virts, and Cristoforetti. Return was delayed over a month before the booster for the Soyuz TMA-16M crew could be cleared for flight following the third-stage explosion of the booster for Progress TMA-11M. Undocked on 11 June 2015 with the same crew at 10:20 GMT and then landed at 13:43 in Kazakhstan.

21:02 GMT - . Launch Site: Baikonur. Launch Complex: Baikonur LC1. LV Family: R-7. Launch Vehicle: Soyuz-FG.

Soyuz TMA-17M - . Call Sign: Antares. Crew: Kononenko, Yui, Lindgren. Backup Crew: Kopra, Malenchenko, Peake. Return Crew: Kononenko, Yui, Lindgren. Payload: Soyuz TMA s/n 717. Mass: 7,200 kg (15,800 lb). Nation: Russia. Program: ISS. Class: Manned. Type: Manned spacecraft. Flight: Soyuz TMA-17M. Spacecraft Bus: Soyuz. Spacecraft: Soyuz TMA. Duration: 112.67 days.

One solar panel of the Soyuz failed to deploy after launch. Docked with the Rassvet module of the ISS at 02:45 GMT on 22 July..

EVA ISS US EVA-32 - . Crew: Kelly, James, Lindgren. EVA Duration: 0.30 days. Nation: USA. Program: ISS.
The Quest airlock was depressurized from about 12:00 GMT to 19:19 GMT. The crew removed a thermal cover from a failed MBSU unit, added thermal covers to the AMS-02 particle physics experiment, installed cabling for the future IDA docking adapters, and lubricated part of the LEE-B end of the Canadarm-2. Part of the LEE lubing and the IDA wiring, as well as the installation of a vent on Node 3, were omitted due to lack of time.

EVA ISS US EVA-33 - . Crew: Kelly, James, Lindgren. EVA Duration: 0.33 days. Nation: USA. Program: ISS.
The airlock was depressurized around 11:20 GMT and repressurized at 19:10 GMT. The astronauts successfully reconfigured part of the station's cooling system on the P6 truss segment. The work went a bit slower than planned, though, and a backup radiator panel (the P6 TTCR) had to be redeployed because there wasn't enough time to fasten it down; this leaves it a bit more vulnerable to space debris.
