Aboard the International Space Station, Crew-7 which includes NASA astronaut Jasmin Moghbeli, European Space Agency (ESA) astronaut Andy Mogensen, Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) astronaut Satoshi Furukawa, and Roscosmos cosmonaut Konstantin Borisov provided farewell remarks on March 10, 2024, ahead of their upcoming departure. Joining Crew-7 for the farewell remarks were NASA astronauts Matthew Dominik, Mike Barrett, Jeanette Epps, and Loral O’Hara as well as Roscosmos cosmonauts Oleg Kononenko and Nikolai Chub.

Following the farewell remarks, a change of command ceremony took place in which Mogensen handed over command of the International Space Station to Kononenko as Mogensen prepares to head home with his Crew-7 crewmates. Crew-7 is slated to undock this week and will splashdown off the coast of Florida after completing a six-month mission.
