The official portrait of the International Space Station's seven-member Expedition 73 crew from three different space agencies. Seated in the front row from left, are NASA astronauts Nichole Ayers and Anne McClain. In the back row from left are, Roscosmos cosmonaut Kirill Peskov (Russia); NASA astronaut Jonny Kim; Roscosmos cosmonauts Sergey Ryzhikov and Alexey Zubritsky of Russia; and Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) astronaut Takuya Onishi

Expedition flight engineer and NASA astronaut Jonny Kim: "We don’t get in our flight suits often, but chance had us all decked out so we took advantage and took some photos with our new crewmates."

"In this picture we have eight astronauts representing the United States, Japan, India, Hungary and Poland. It’s been a pleasure getting to know and work with these professionals, and it’s been amazing to watch the ground collaboration for research between our partner nations."

"If you’ve ever wondered how we take these photos, we set a camera time-lapse on a wall mounted tripod with a quick interval."

The SpaceX Dragon crew spacecraft undocked at 7:15 a.m. EDT from the space-facing port of the International Space Station’s Harmony module, completing the fourth private astronaut mission to the orbiting laboratory, Axiom Mission 4 (Ax-4).
