During Expedition 22, the crew were visited by Space Shuttle "Endeavour" during its penultimate flight, STS-130, which delivered the Node 3 module and the "Cupola" to the station. During this flight Noguchi was also in space with his former STS-114 crewmate Stephen Robinson, who was Mission Specialist on STS-130. Soyuz TMA-16 returned to Earth on 18 March 2010, carrying Surayev and Williams and officially ending Expedition 22, following which Noguchi, Kotov, and Creamer transferred to Expedition 23, with Kotov taking command of the station. Shortly after they were joined by Soyuz TMA-18, carrying Russian cosmonauts Aleksandr Skvortsov and Mikhail Kornienko as well as American astronaut Tracy Caldwell Dyson.
