Soyuz MS-23 is a Russian Soyuz spaceflight to the International Space Station with a crew of three planned for launch from Baikonur in March 2023.[1]

Crew

The original three-Russian member crew was named in May 2021. American astronaut Loral O'Hara replaced Andrey Fedyaev as a part of the Soyuz-Dragon crew swap system of keeping at least one NASA astronaut and one Roscosmos cosmonaut on each of the crew rotation missions. This ensures both countries have a presence on the station, and the ability to maintain their separate systems if either Soyuz or commercial crew vehicles are grounded for an extended period.[2]
