List of ISS expeditions

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The ISS, photographed during the round-trip flight of the space shuttle mission STS-133

This is the chronological list of the ISS expeditions , the long-term crews on the International Space Station .

Further details can be found in the list of ISS commanders , the list of manned ISS missions and the list of space travelers on the ISS . The latter two also list short-term visitors.

Explanations

The names of the ISS expeditions are followed by a list of the crew members. After the names of the members, the number of space flights they have taken is noted in brackets. The abbreviations CDR and BI that follow indicate the functions of the ISS commander and the flight engineers. The term “flight engineer” should not be confused with the function of the same name in aviation - every ISS expedition member who is not currently in the role of commander is called “flight engineer”.

The further structure of the list changes from Expedition 21/22:

  • Successive expeditions up to expedition 20 overlap each other by one to two weeks. Therefore, the period of each expedition is given in full with the beginning, duration and end.
  • All expeditions from No. 21 onwards go directly into one another; the end time of one expedition is identical to the start of the next. To save space and provide a better overview, only the duration and the end of each expedition are given from Expedition 22 onwards. In addition, the arrival times of the space travelers - which are no longer identical with the start of an expedition - are given separately from Expedition 21 onwards.

All dates refer to Coordinated Universal Time (UTC).

The typical length of stay for each crew member is around six months. Half of the available places go to space travelers from NASA and Roskosmos , with NASA passing on parts of its contingent to the international partners. As with other resources on the ISS, 12.8% go to JAXA , 8.3% to ESA and 2.3% to CSA .

Previous expeditions

Expeditions 1 to 6

The participants of the first expedition reached the station on November 2, 2000 with the Russian Soyuz spacecraft TM-31, which also served as a return vehicle in an emergency. On the following expeditions, the crew was exchanged while visiting an American space shuttle . The Soyuz capsule was replaced by three-person visiting missions. Since the replacement teams each arrived about a week before the planned return of the previous crew, the expeditions overlapped around this period.

Expeditions 7 to 12

The space shuttle Columbia crashed on February 1, 2003. As a result, further flights of the space shuttle fleet were canceled until July 2005. From Expedition 7 onwards, the crew was therefore exchanged using the Soyuz capsules. In order to guarantee the supply even without shuttle flights, the team strength of the expeditions was reduced from three to two members.

The expeditions began with the docking of the feeder spaceship and ended with its decoupling for the return flight. Since the replacement team arrived about a week before the planned return of the previous crew, the expeditions overlapped around this period.

Expeditions 13 to 19

On July 26, 2005, the Discovery launched a space shuttle for the first time since the Columbia crashed. Almost a year later, on July 4, 2006, the Discovery brought ESA astronaut Thomas Reiter to the ISS, increasing the permanent crew to three members. The commander and the first flight engineer continued to be exchanged with the Soyuz spaceships, while the second flight engineer was exchanged for the shuttle missions that are now regularly starting again.

The expedition periods continued to correspond to the periods of presence of the Soyuz crews, while the shuttle astronauts arrived on interim dates and sometimes took part in two expeditions. (The data of the expeditions are shown below in black font, the independent data of the shuttle flights in gray .)

Expeditions 20 and 21

Since May 2009, the ISS crew has normally consisted of six people. Correspondingly, two Soyuz capsules are always coupled as return vehicles. Three crew members are replaced every two or four months. The command then passes to one of the remaining spacemen and the numbering changes. Each crew member belongs to two expeditions. Most of the crew will be transported by Soyuz spaceships, but some will continue to be exchanged during shuttle missions.

From expedition 20 onwards, the expedition periods no longer overlap; instead, the decoupling of a Soyuz spaceship marks the transition to the next expedition. Expedition 20 began for the last time with the coupling of a Soyuz capsule. (The arrival dates of the space travelers are therefore given separately from Expedition 21; they can no longer be read from the expedition periods.)

Expeditions 22 to 42

With the end of the space shuttle program in 2011, long-term crews will be exchanged exclusively via the Russian Soyuz spaceships until further notice.

Since No. 21, the expeditions no longer begin with the arrival of new spacemen, but with the end of the previous expedition. The arrival times of the participants are therefore no longer evident from the expedition data and are mentioned separately in the list. The length of stay of the space travelers can be found in the Soyuz Articles or the list of manned missions to the International Space Station ; it no longer corresponds to the duration of the expeditions.

As a one-off experiment as part of the NASA Twins Study , Michail Kornijenko and Scott Kelly's time was extended from six to twelve months. This left two places available for short-term stays, which were filled by the Dane Andreas Mogensen and the Kazakhs Aidyn Aimbetow .

Soyuz MS-12

The launch of the Soyuz MS-10 spacecraft on October 11, 2018 had to be canceled due to a problem with the first stage separation; Alexei Ovchinin and Nick Hague landed unscathed in Kazakhstan. The crew of the early Soyuz MS-11 flight served as a replacement for the crew of Expedition 57, the length of which was extended to three expeditions.

Expeditions 59 to 62

Delays in the completion of the two new US spaceships Crew Dragon and CST-100 Starliner resulted in some changes in the crew planning. As a precaution, Christina Hammock Koch and Andrew Morgan's stay was extended to three expeditions so that the American segment of the space station could definitely remain occupied by at least one astronaut. NASA later acquired a seat each for one (additional) US astronaut on the Soyuz MS-12 to Soyuz MS-17 flights .
