Late Wednesday dark , NASA astronaut Reid Wiseman , astronaut Max Suraev and ESA astronaut Alexander Gerst became the quaternary , 5th and sixth member of the International Space Station’sExpedition 40 crew . The team will set about its first full working day Friday at 2 a.m. For now , however , the team will rest .
The photo above , capture by the Agency’sHigh Definition Earth Viewing Experiment , shows the panorama from the ISS on the astronauts ’ Clarence Shepard Day Jr. off . In the foreground is the Soyuz TMA-13 M , on which Wiseman , Suraey and Gerst hitchhike their drive . Not a unfit view for a 24 - hour holiday .
