Soyuz MS-16

Soyuz MS-16 brought two Russians and an American to the International Space Station. Originally, a Japanese astronaut was supposed to fly but was replaced with an American due to continued delays to the start of the Commercial Crew Program for NASA. After 9 years as the only craft capable of launching people to (and bringing them back from) the ISS, this mission marked the Soyuz's last flight in that role. Six weeks after this flight began, SpaceX launched its first crewed mission to the ISS, once again giving the outpost two vehicles capable of launching and landing humans.

Expedition 45 ISS Quest EVA 3

Soyuz MS-12

This three-person International Space Station crew mission saw the relaunch of the two crewmembers from the aborted Soyuz MS-10 flight six months prior. They were joined on this flight by NASA astronaut Christina Koch who, after launching for a six-month mission, ended up staying on the ISS for a year and breaking the longest single-spaceflight record for a woman by more than two months. Hazza Al Mansouri landed on this mission after launching on Soyuz MS-15. If you ask Russia and NASA what spaceflight number this was for Ovchinin and Hague, you'd get a different answer.  Russia uses the internationally recognized Kármán line at 100 km as the marker of where space begins and NASA uses the US-only 80 km mark. Thus, on Soyuz MS-10, Russia does not consider Ovchinin and Hague to have reached space, but NASA does. This is either Hague's first or second spaceflight and Ovchinin second or third... depending on who you ask.

Soyuz TMA-20M

Soyuz TMA-20M ferried three members of the Expedition 47 crew to the International Space Station. This was the final flight of the Soyuz TMA-M variant.

Soyuz MS-10

This two-person International Space Station crew launch suffered a rocket failure at booster separation. The Soyuz's abort system activated within milliseconds, pulled the crew away from the failing rocket, and parachuted them safely to the ground where they were picked up and reunited with their families. It is the only In-Flight Abort for an International Space Station crew mission in the program's history. The two crewmembers on this aborted mission went on to fly to the ISS six months later on Soyuz MS-12. Internationally, this flight is not recognized as a true spaceflight as it reached only 93 km, just short of the Kármán line, the 100 km internationally recognized boundary to space. However, since a U.S. astronaut was onboard and NASA marks the boundary of space at 80 km, this counts as a spaceflight to NASA but not to Russia.

STS-113 (Endeavour)

Endeavour rotated the Expedition 5 and 6 International Space Station crews and delivered the P1 truss to the ISS. Construction of the ISS was halted after this mission and did not resume until 2006 due to the loss of Space Shuttle Columbia and her seven-person crew on the next Shuttle flight. After four days of landing delays because of weather, this mission holds the record for most delayed landing attempts of a human spaceflight.

STS-126 (Endeavour)

This resupply and logistics run to the International Space Station delivered all the equipment needed to expand the ISS's crew size from three people to six, conducted repairs to huge rotary joints that allow the ISS's solar arrays to track the Sun, and rotated an ISS crewmember.

Soyuz TMA-03M

Soyuz TMA-03M ferried three members of the Expedition 30 crew to the International Space Station.

SpaceX Crew-10

SpaceX flew NASA astronauts, a JAXA astronaut, and a Russian cosmonaut to the International Space Station aboard Dragon.

Soyuz MS-11

This was a critical International Space Station crew launch ferrying three people to the outpost. When the Soyuz MS-10 in-flight failure occurred two months earlier, it left the ISS in a precarious position: the three crew on the outpost had to come home by late-December or they would exceed the on-orbit time limit for their Soyuz MS-09 craft. That meant this mission's planned late-December launch had to be advanced to early-December, and teams back on the ground had to quickly discover and fix the cause of the Soyuz MS-10 failure or they'd risk having to de-crew the entire ISS. A fix was identified, implemented, and tested within six weeks, allowing this mission to fly early.

Crew Dragon is the first privately built and operated orbital spacecraft capable of flying humans. As a reusable SpaceX capsule, it transports crew members to and from the International Space Station. It will also carry paying customers to the Station and low Earth orbit. While it typically accommodates a crew of four, this number can vary depending on the mission.

Crew Dragon

Cygnus is an uncrewed supply ship from Northrop Grumman. It serves as both a cargo craft for science equipment and crew supplies, and as an independent science module where experiments can be conducted. After departing the Station, Cygnus deploys small satellites and performs other scientific missions.

Cygnus

Soyuz is a human-carrying capsule built and operated by Russia, capable of transporting up to three people to the Space Station at a time. It has been upgraded numerous times since its first use in the 1960s for the Soviet lunar program and was the only crewed vehicle for the Station from 2011 to 2020.

Soyuz

Progress is Russia’s cargo vehicle for the Space Station. It is based on the same design as Soyuz and is sometimes used to test new communication and navigation systems before they are implemented on crewed Soyuz flights.
