“In addition to Andrei Fedyaev, NASA astronauts Stephen Bowen and Woody Hoburg, as well as UAE astronaut Sultan al-Neyadi, are included in the crew of the Crew-6 mission,” Roscosmos said.

As part of cross-flights in March 2023, it is planned to deliver NASA astronaut Loral O'Hara to the ISS along with Roscosmos cosmonauts Oleg Kononenko and Nikolai Chub on the Soyuz MS-23 spacecraft.

On October 5, Anna Kikina became the first Russian cosmonaut to travel to the ISS on the Crew Dragon spacecraft.

In addition, her flight was the first flight of a Russian cosmonaut on an American spacecraft in 20 years.

On July 15, Roscosmos and NASA signed an agreement on cross-flights of crews on Russian and American manned spacecraft.
