Expedition 67

Expedition 67 is the 67th Long duration Expedition to the International Space Station. The Expedition began upon the departure of Soyuz MS-19 on 30 March 2022,[1] with NASA astronaut Thomas Marshburn taking over as ISS commander.[2][3] Initially, the Expedition consists of Marshburn and his three SpaceX Crew-3 crewmates Raja Chari, Kayla Barron and Matthias Maurer, as well as Roscosmos cosmonauts Oleg Artemyev, Denis Matveev and Sergey Korsakov, who launched aboard Soyuz MS-21 on 18 March 2022 and transfer from Expedition 66 alongside the Crew-3 astronauts.[4] However, continued international collaboration has been thrown into doubt by the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine and related sanctions on Russia.[5]

During Expedition 67 the space station was also visited by the crew of Axiom Mission 1, a space tourist mission that brought three spaceflight participants to the station on April 9, 2022 along with former NASA astronaut Michael López-Alegría. They departed the ISS on 25 April, 2022.

Crew-3 are due to depart in late April,[6] they should be replaced by SpaceX Crew-4, which is planned to ferry NASA astronauts Kjell N. Lindgren, Bob Hines and Jessica Watkins, as well as ESA astronaut Samantha Cristoforetti to the station.[7]
