“The transfer of command to Roscosmos cosmonaut Oleg Artemyev from astronaut Thomas Marshburn took place at the International Space Station,” Roscosmos said in a Telegram message.

During the change of command ceremony, Marshburn gave Artemiev the symbolic key to the station.

Earlier, Roscosmos cosmonauts Oleg Artemiev and Denis Matveev deployed a copy of the Victory Banner in the Great Patriotic War in outer space while carrying out work outside the ISS.
