Soyuz TMA-14M was a 2014 flight to theInternational Space Station. It transported three members of theExpedition 41 crew to the International Space Station. TMA-14M is the 123rd flight of aSoyuz spacecraft, the first flight launching in 1967. The Soyuz remained docked to the space station for theExpedition 42 increment to serve as an emergency escape vehicle until undocking and landing as scheduled in March 2015.

Soyuz TMA-14M successfully launched aboard aSoyuz-FG rocket from theBaikonur Cosmodrome inKazakhstan at 20:25 UTC on Thursday, 25 September 2014 (2:25 AM Friday 26 September local time).[4] The spacecraft reachedlow Earth orbit approximately nine minutes after lift-off.[5] After reaching orbit, theSoyuz spacecraft's portsolar array failed to deploy, but eventually did deploy after docking with the ISS. According to NASA and theRussian Federal Space Agency, the solar array does not pose a threat to the success of the mission.[6]
Following a four-orbit rendezvous, the spacecraft docked with thePoisk module of theInternational Space Station just under six hours after launch, at 02:11 UTC on Friday, 26 September. Hatches between the two spacecraft were opened at 04:06 UTC. At this time, the crew of TMA-14M joined the crew ofExpedition 41, where they were scheduled to remain until the crew ofSoyuz TMA-13M departed in November 2014. Samokutyayev, Serova and Wilmore transferred to the crew ofExpedition 42 at that time.[4][6]
TMA-14M remained docked to the ISS—serving as an emergency escape vehicle—until March 11, 2015, when it departed and returned Samokutyayev, Serova and Wilmore to Earth. After undocking from the ISS at 22:44 UTC on 11 March, the spacecraft deorbited and its descent module along with the mission crew landed safely just over three hours later, at 02:07 UTC on 12 March.
