ISS-Expedition 22 is the mission name for the 22nd long-term crew of the International Space Station (ISS). The mission began with the decoupling of the Soyuz TMA-15 spacecraft from the ISS on December 1, 2009. The end was marked by the Soyuz TMA-16 decoupling on March 18, 2010.

• Maxim Wiktorowitsch Surajew (1st space flight), flight engineer ( Russia / Roscosmos ) (Soyuz TMA-16)

• Sōichi Noguchi (2nd space flight), flight engineer ( Japan / JAXA ) ( Soyuz TMA-17 )
• Oleg Valerjewitsch Kotow (2nd space flight), flight engineer (Russia / Roscosmos) (Soyuz TMA-17)

Substitute team

Since Expedition 20, no official replacement team has been announced due to the permanent training for the six-person crew. Unofficially, the backup crews of the two Soyuz feeder spaceships TMA-16 and TMA-17 (see there) are considered substitute crews for Expedition 22. As a rule, these crews are then deployed two missions later.
