Welcoming the new crew members are Expedition 74 flight engineers Jack Hathaway and Jessica Meir, both NASA astronauts.

Expedition 74 flight engineer (from left) Sergei Mikaev and station commander Sergey Kud-Sverchkov, both from Roscosmos (Russia), open the hatch between the International Space Station's Prichal module and the Russian Soyuz MS-29 spacecraft. Moments later, new station crew members Anil Menon of NASA and Pyotr Dubrov and Anna Kikina, both from Roscosmos (Russia), would exit the Russian Soyuz MS-29 and enter Prichal beginning an eight-and-a-half-month space research mission.

At bottom left are Roscosmos cosmonaut Andrey Fedyaev of Russia, NASA astronauts Jack Hathaway and Jessica Meir, and the European Space Agency astronaut Sophie Adenot. At top are Roscosmos cosmonauts Sergei Mikaev and Sergey Kud‑Sverchkov of Russia, along with NASA astronaut Chris Williams. In the background is a flag with the Expedition 74 insignia, sent to the orbital outpost and decorated with signatures from mission controllers on the ground.

The International Space Station was soaring 262 miles above southern India at approximately 1:34 a.m. local time when this long‑duration photograph was taken, revealing a bright atmospheric glow and a starry night sky. At left is the Prichal module, attached to the Nauka science module on the orbital outpost’s Roscosmos (Russian) segment.

Three Expedition 74 crew members are packing up cargo and handing over their responsibilities with less than one week to go before returning to Earth. The International Space Station’s three newest crewmates are already in the second week of their mission getting used to life on orbit and researching how microgravity affects the human body.

NASA astronaut Chris Williams and Roscosmos cosmonauts Sergey Kud-Sverchkov and Sergei Mikaev of Russia are nearing the end of their mission that began with a launch from Kazakhstan aboard their Russian Soyuz MS-28 spacecraft on Nov. 27, 2025. The trio will undock from the Rassvet module in the Soyuz MS-28 over the weekend signifying the beginning of Expedition 75. They will take a short ride back to Earth for a parachute-assisted landing in Kazakhstan inside the Soyuz.
