ISS crews

On this page is a summary of all Expedition Crews (ISS-) to fly to the International Space Station, and the short-duration Visiting Crews (VC-), who launch and land on Russian Soyuz spaceships.

Expedition Crews were initially taken up by the Space Shuttle, then after the Columbia tragedy they went by Soyuz. When the Shuttle resumed flights in 2005, extra crew members were brought by Shuttle.
