Sultan Al Neyadi was the backup for Hazza Al Mansouri when the latter flew on the Soyuz-MS 15 mission.

Nice to see he gets to go to space too.

Roskosmos: as part of cross flights on Crew Dragon, in addition to Kikina, Fedyaev will fly.

MOSCOW, July 25 - RIA Novosti. In addition to Russian cosmonaut Anna Kikina and US astronaut Francisco Rubio, Russian Andrey Fedyaev and American Laurel O'Hara fly to the ISS as part of the cross-flight agreement , Roscosmos reported on Monday.

"In accordance with the agreement, NASA astronaut Francisco Rubio will go to the ISS on September 21, 2022 on the Russian manned spacecraft Soyuz MS-22, and Roscosmos cosmonaut  Anna Kikina - no earlier than September 29, 2022 on the American manned spacecraft Crew Dragon (crew- 5)," the state corporation said on its Telegram channel. "In the spring of 2023, NASA astronaut Laurel O'Hara is scheduled to fly on the Soyuz MS-23 spacecraft and Roscosmos cosmonaut Andrey Fedyaev on the Crew Dragon spacecraft (crew-6 mission)," Roscosmos said.

The agreement with NASA provides for three flights of Russian cosmonauts on American manned spacecraft and three flights of American astronauts on Russian manned spacecraft. Flights should take place in 2022-2024.

O'Hara trained last year in Russia with Russian cosmonauts Sergei Prokopiev and Dmitry Petelin.

Mission Specialist Assigned to Crew-6 Space Station Mission

Linda Herridge Posted on July 25, 2022

The final crew member for NASA’s SpaceX Crew-6 mission, currently targeted to launch to the International Space Station in spring 2023, has been announced. The Mohammed bin Rashid Space Center of the United Arab Emirates (UAE) named Sultan AlNeyadi to spend approximately six months aboard the space station as part of Expeditions 68/69. Mission Specialist AlNeyadi joins NASA astronauts Stephen Bowen and Woody Hoburg, who will serve as spacecraft commander and pilot, respectively, for the mission, and cosmonaut Andrei Fedyaev of Roscosmos.

To ensure continuous U.S. presence aboard the International Space Station, NASA signed a contract in 2021 with Axiom Space to fly a NASA astronaut on a Soyuz rotation in exchange for a seat on a future U.S. commercial spacecraft. Axiom announced an agreement on April 29, 2022, with the Mohammed bin Rashid Space Center of the UAE to fly its crew member in the seat.

The UAE astronaut corps has been in training with NASA at the Johnson Space Center since 2019, including spacewalk training, onboard systems and T-38 training. AlNeyadi will continue crewmember training for the Dragon spacecraft and international partner segments.

We are proud to work with UAE on this historic fight opportunity that will send the first astronaut from an Arab nation on a long-term mission to the @Space_Station.

This highlights our commitment to expand global access to microgravity.

According to the BBC, Russia and Roskosmos have decided to pull out of the ISS by 2024. I wonder how that will affect these flight swaps... (IMHO it is time to stop the flights, given the Russian geopolitical stance atm)

Russia’s intent to terminate their involvement in the ISS “after 2024” or in 2030 is discussed in this thread.

If Crew 6 launches in the Spring of 2023, it should land around the start of Fiscal 2024.
So, the resolution of Russia’s exit date is unlikely to impact Crew 6, the topic of this thread.
Until a statement is made about the end of the ISS impacting this particular flight or crew, can we keep the discussions separate?

What kind of wastrels would dump a perfectly good booster in the ocean after just one use?

Medics find Russian cosmonauts fit for flying on Crew Dragon to ISS

Roscosmos cosmonauts Kikina and Fedyayev will go to the ISS as part of Crew Dragon crews under a cross-flight agreement

23 AUG, 08:34

MOSCOW, August 23. /TASS/. The Chief Medical Commission has found Russian cosmonauts Anna Kikina and Andrey Fedyayev fit to fly to the International Space Station (ISS) on the US spacecraft Crew Dragon, the Yury Gagarin Cosmonaut Training Center said on Tuesday.

Roscosmos cosmonauts Kikina and Fedyayev will go to the ISS as part of Crew Dragon crews under a cross-flight agreement.

The CTC added that the rest of the ISS-68 crew, due to leave for the orbital outpost in September, were also in good health. "The commission found that Roscosmos cosmonauts Sergey Prokopyev and Dmitry Petelin (the main ISS-68 crew) and Oleg Kononenko and Nikolai Chub (standby crew) were recognized as fit for space flight," the CTC added.

On July 15, Roscosmos announced the signing of an agreement on joint cross-flights by Russian cosmonauts and US astronauts to the ISS. Russians will fly on US spacecraft thrice. Crew Dragon’s Crew-5 mission involving Kikina is due no earlier than September 29. Cosmonaut Andrey Fedyayev will fly to the ISS on the sixth Crew Dragon spacecraft. His standby is Konstantin Borisov, who will also be trained for the Crew-7 mission in 2024. Sergey Prokopyev and Dmitry Petelin will go to the ISS on the Soyuz MS-22 spacecraft, which is scheduled to blast off from the Baikonur cosmodrome in Kazakhstan on September 21.

The booster for Crew-6 May, or may not, be the B1077 used today for Crew-5 …

NASA's Stich says each new Falcon 9 booster in the SpaceX fleet brings "safety improvements" and "better inspections."

"I think we might get a new booster again later on for Crew-6."

On the launch webcast they said today’s booster would be reused for Crew-6.

This contradicts the Crew-5 broadcast. They said B1077 would fly again on Crew-6.

I wonder if Derrol Nail got confused with CRS-26? Would make more sense to me at least

Seems to be the case. Booster for Crew-6 is B1078 as of current planning.

During the Crew 4 post flight media briefing Steve Stich mentions that the Dragon Crew 6 mission will use the Endeavour. At about time mark 14 min 53 sec.

This is not a futuristic spacecraft, in fact this is a centrifuge arm @usairforce . Here we simulate launch and landing profiles in the @SpaceX Crew Dragon capsule. The gravitational forces that we encounter can reach up to 5 G’s.
