As of Oct 3, the seven-member Expedition 73 crew includes Commander Sergey Ryzhikov, cosmonauts Alexey Zubritsky and Oleg Platonov, NASA astronauts Jonny Kim, Zena Cardman, Mike Fincke, and JAXA’s Kimiya Yui. They’re supported by two crewed spacecraft (SpaceX Dragon Endeavour and Soyuz MS-27) and four cargo ships, including SpaceX CRS-33 Dragon and Northrop Grumman’s Cygnus XL.
