Soyuz MS-06

Soyuz MS-06 is a Soyuz spaceflight planned for September 2017. It will transport two members of the Expedition 53 crew to the International Space Station. MS-06 will be the 135th flight of a Soyuz spacecraft. The crew will consist of a Russian commander, and an American flight engineer.^[1]

Due to a decision to cut down the number of participating Russian astronauts in 2017, changes were made in crew assignments to the ISS.^[3] Originally set to be on Soyuz MS-04, Alexander Misurkin and Mark Vande Hei have been assigned to Soyuz MS-06 instead.^[1]
