Expedition 67 crew potrait

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-21 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]
