Expedition 71 Crew Photos: Summer 2024 | International Space Station

NASA astronaut Tracy C. Dyson works on a computer inside the International Space Station's Quest airlock where spacewalks are staged.

NASA astronaut Jeanette Epps swaps research components and removes samples from inside the Combustion Integrated Rack for a series of experiments exploring space flammability and fire suppression in microgravity.

NASA astronaut Suni Williams configures portable electronics gear aboard the International Space Station's Destiny laboratory module.

Expedition 71 Flight Engineers Matthew Dominick and Don Pettit, both from NASA, check out a digital camera aboard the International Space Station's Unity module.

NASA astronaut Tracy C. Dyson smiles for a portrait in the vestibule between the Kibo laboratory module and the Harmony module aboard the International Space Station.

Expedition 71 crew members (from left) Oleg Kononenko and Nikolai Chub, both Roscosmos cosmonauts of Russia, and NASA astronaut Tracy C. Dyson pose for a portrait inside the International Space Station's Rassvet module.

Expedition 71 crew members (clockwise from bottom left) Alexander Grebenkin, from Roscosmos (Russia), and NASA astronauts Suni Williams, Jeanette Epps, Matthew Dominick, Mike Barratt, and Butch Wilmore, pose for a portrait inside the International Space Station's Rassvet module.

Expedition 71 Flight Engineer (from left) Don Pettit from NASA demonstrates filling a specially-made coffee cup from a drink bag to Expedition 71 Flight Engineer Alexey Ovchinin from Roscosmos (Russia). The coffee stays inside the cup due to surface tension, a property that enables liquids to resist an external force, such as microgravity, and adhere, or stick to a surface.

NASA astronaut Tracy C. Dyson is completing a six-month mission, while Roscosmos cosmonauts Oleg Kononenko and Nikolai Chub of Russia are wrapping up just over a year in low-Earth orbit.  The Earth-bound trio is scheduled to depart the orbital lab inside the Soyuz MS-25 spacecraft at 4:47 a.m. EDT on Monday, Sept. 23, 2024. At that time, Expedition 71 will end and Expedition 72 will officially be under way. The crew inside the Soyuz will parachute to a landing just over three hours later in Kazakhstan.

An international partnership of space agencies provides and operates the elements of the International Space Station (ISS). The principals are the space agencies of the United States, Russia, Europe, Japan, and Canada. The ISS has been the most politically complex space exploration program ever undertaken.
