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. Meanwhile, 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.
