NASA astronaut Jasmin Moghbeli will join European Space Agency (ESA) astronaut Andreas Mogensen and astronaut Satoshi Furukawa from the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA). An additional crew member will be assigned at a later date.

This will be the first long-duration mission for Mogensen. He previously served as a flight engineer on a 10-day mission to the space station in 2015. Crew-7 will be his second trip to space.

Furukawa spent 165 days aboard the orbiting laboratory in 2011 as a flight engineer with Expeditions 28 and 29. As part of his duties, he helped support the final space shuttle mission, STS-135.
