Expedition 67 is the scheduled 67th Long duration Expedition to the International Space Station. The Expedition is set to begin upon the departure of Soyuz MS-19 in late March 2022,[1] with NASA astronaut Thomas Marshburn taking over as ISS commander.[2][3] Initially, the Expedition should consist of Marshburn and his three SpaceX Crew-3 crewmates Raja Chari, Kayla Barron and Matthias Maurer, as well as Roscosmos cosmonauts Oleg Artemyev, Denis Matveev and Sergey Korsakov, who launched aboard Soyuz MS-21 on 18 March 2022 and transfer from Expedition 66 alongside the Crew-3 astronauts.[4] However, continued international collaboration has been thrown into doubt by the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine and related sanctions on Russia.[5]
Crew-3 are due to depart in late April,[6] they should be replaced by SpaceX Crew-4, which is planned to ferry NASA astronauts Kjell N. Lindgren, Bob Hines and Jessica Watkins, as well as ESA astronaut Samantha Cristoforetti to the station.[7]

It is the first private Crew Dragon mission to the International Space Station (ISS), operated by SpaceX on behalf of Axiom Space. The flight sends four people to the ISS for an eight-day stay:[9] Michael López-Alegría,[10] a professionally trained astronaut hired by Axiom Space, Eytan Stibbe[11] from Israel,[12] Larry Connor from the United States[12] and Mark Pathy from Canada.[12] There are no backup mission specialists but Peggy Whitson is the backup commander for the mission and John Shoffner is the backup pilot. |
