ISS-Expedition 50 is the mission name for the 50th long-term crew of the International Space Station (ISS). The mission began with the disengagement of the Soyuz MS-01 spacecraft from the ISS on October 30, 2016 and ended with the disengagement of Soyuz MS-02 on April 10, 2017.
team
Adopted from ISS Expedition 59 :
- Robert Shane Kimbrough (2nd space flight), commander ( US / NASA , Soyuz MS-02 )
- Andrei Iwanowitsch Borissenko (2nd space flight), flight engineer, ( Russia / Roskosmos , Soyuz MS-02)
- Sergei Nikolajewitsch Ryschikow (1st space flight), flight engineer (Russia / Roskosmos, Soyuz MS-02)
Additionally from November 19, 2016:
- Oleg Wiktorowitsch Novizki (2nd space flight), flight engineer (Russia / Roskosmos, Soyuz MS-03 )
- Thomas Pesquet (1st spaceflight), flight engineer ( France / ESA , Soyuz MS-03)
- Peggy Annette Whitson (3rd space flight), flight engineer (USA / NASA, Soyuz MS-03)
The day before Soyuz MS-02 undocked with Ryschikow, Borissenko and Kimbrough, Whitson took command of the ISS . Together with Nowizki and Pesquet, she formed the initial crew of Expedition 51 .
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 MS-02 and MS-03 (see there) are used as backup crews for Expedition 50. As a rule, these crews are deployed two missions later.
Mission description
Freight traffic
On November 21st, the Cygnus OA-5 was decoupled from the Unity module via Canadarm2.
On December 13th, HTV 6 reached the station. Commander Shane Kimbrough and engineer Thomas Pesquet attached the spaceship to the earth-facing side of the Harmony module using the Canadarm2 gripper arm . The uncoupling was carried out by Pesquet on January 27, 2017.
On January 31st, Progress MS-03 was disconnected from the docking port of the Pirs module.
The Dragon CRS-10 spaceship reached the ISS on February 23 and was attached to the Harmony module by Shane Kimbrough and Thomas Pesquet using the Canadarm2 robotic arm. The disconnection was carried out by Pesquet and Kimbrough on March 19th.
On February 24 at 08:30 UTC, Progress docked MS-05 with the Pirs module. The freighter is to remain connected to the ISS for six months before it is decoupled in mid-June 2017 when it is laden with waste and burned up over the South Pacific.
External works

On January 6, Shane Kimbrough and Peggy Whitson completed the first spacecraft mission of 2017. They installed the first three of six new lithium-ion batteries with suitable brackets. They came to the station in December with HTV 6.

On January 13, Shane Kimbrough and Thomas Pesquet carried out complex modifications to the station's electrical system as part of the second spacecraft mission. Among other things, they installed the remaining three new lithium-ion batteries.
On March 24, Kimbrough and Pesquet got out for the second time. The main task was to prepare the PMA -3 adapter for the installation of the second International Docking Adapter (IDA-2). Afterwards, they greased Canadarm2's gripping device.
On March 30, Kimbrough got out one more time, this time again with Whitson. They connected the cables and electrical connections of the PMA-3 with the new coupling point on the Harmony module . Afterwards, they attached covers and shields to PMA-3 and the now vacant port on the Tranquility module .
