Crew Notes

Soyuz MS-16 was originally meant to transport the Expedition 63/64 crew to the ISS, carrying Tikhonov, Babkin and Japanese astronaut Akihiko Hoshide to the ISS. Although on 31 October 2019 it was announced that NASA astronaut Chris Cassidy would fly the mission instead of Hoshide, in order to make sure an American astronaut was onboard the station at all times, in the face of delays with the Commercial Crew Program. These changes also meant that Soyuz MS-16's crew would make up part of Expedition 62. The Expedition will also mark the first time the Russian segment of the ISS has had three crew members since Expedition 50. It will also be the first Expedition since Expedition 25 to not include a crew member from an agency other than NASA or Roscosmos.
