Recommended Videos What to expect from the launch Three crew members will launch on a Roscosmos Soyuz MS-25 spacecraft from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan and travel to the ISS for a stay. The crew includes NASA astronaut Tracy C. Dyson, who will join the ISS crew and spend six months on board, plus Roscosmos cosmonaut Oleg Novitskiy and spaceflight participant Marina Vasilevskaya of Belarus, who will spend 12 days on the station.
When the flying of integrated crews was announced in 2022, NASA wrote in a statement that, “Flying integrated crews ensures there are appropriately trained crew members on board the station for essential maintenance and spacewalks. It also protects against contingencies such as a problem with any crew spacecraft, serious crew medical issues, or an emergency aboard the station that requires a crew and the vehicle they are assigned to return to Earth sooner than planned.
