The Soyuz TMA-16 is a planned 2009 flight to the International Space Station. It will transport 3 members of the Expedition 20 crew to the International Space Station. TMA-16 will be the 103rd flight of a Soyuz spacecraft, the first flight launching in 1967. The Soyuz will most likely remain on board the space station for the remainder of the Expedition 20 increment to serve as an emergency escape vehicle.
