Expedition 65 is scheduled to be the 65th long duration expedition to the International Space Station. The mission is scheduled to begin on April 9, 2021, with the departure of Soyuz MS-17. Assuming SpaceX's Crew-1 mission lasts its expected ~210 days, the mission's four crew members, NASA astronauts Michael Hopkins, Victor Glover, Shannon Walker, and JAXA astronaut Soichi Noguchi, will make up the senior crew of the expedition, transferring from Expedition 64. Walker will assume command of the expedition. They will be joined by three Roscosmos cosmonauts, Oleg Novitsky, Pyotr Dubrov and Andrei Borisenko, who will arrive on the space station on 1 April aboard Soyuz MS-18, shortly before the departure of Soyuz MS-17 in order to ensure an unbroken Russian presence aboard the International Space Station. The expedition is expected to end upon the departure of Crew-1, sometime around June 2021.
