![]() (l-r) Morgan, Skvortsov and Parmitano Soyuz programme (Crewed missions) |
Soyuz MS-13, also designated ISS flight 59S, was a crewed Soyuz mission launched on 20 July 2019 – the 50th anniversary of the first Moon landing – [2] carrying three members of the Expedition 60 crew to the International Space Station: a Russian commander, an American and a European flight engineer. Soyuz MS-13 was the 142nd flight of a Soyuz spacecraft. It was at one point the last Soyuz flight contracted by NASA in the expectation that subsequent astronaut transport would be provided by the Commercial Crew Program,[5] but in early 2019 NASA sought to purchase two additional Soyuz seats to provide greater certainty given delays in that program.[6]
