SpaceX Crew-10

SpaceX flew NASA astronauts, a JAXA astronaut, and a Russian cosmonaut to the International Space Station aboard Dragon.

Soyuz MS-11

This was a critical International Space Station crew launch ferrying three people to the outpost. When the Soyuz MS-10 in-flight failure occurred two months earlier, it left the ISS in a precarious position: the three crew on the outpost had to come home by late-December or they would exceed the on-orbit time limit for their Soyuz MS-09 craft. That meant this mission's planned late-December launch had to be advanced to early-December, and teams back on the ground had to quickly discover and fix the cause of the Soyuz MS-10 failure or they'd risk having to de-crew the entire ISS. A fix was identified, implemented, and tested within six weeks, allowing this mission to fly early.

Soyuz MS-27

Roscosmos launched two Russian cosmonauts and a NASA astronaut to the Rassvet module of the International Space Station.

Soyuz MS-17

Soyuz MS-17 ferried three international crew members to the Space Station, two Russians and one American. This was the first of two flights to expand the Station's permanent crew size to seven people.

Crew Dragon is the first privately built and operated orbital spacecraft capable of flying humans. As a reusable SpaceX capsule, it transports crew members to and from the International Space Station. It will also carry paying customers to the Station and low Earth orbit. While it typically accommodates a crew of four, this number can vary depending on the mission.

Crew Dragon

Cargo Dragon is a freight version of the Crew Dragon design. A reusable SpaceX capsule, it can carry thousands of kilograms of science and supplies to and from the Station. It is the only craft that can currently bring large amounts of scientific experiments back to Earth.

Cargo Dragon

Soyuz is a human-carrying capsule built and operated by Russia, capable of transporting up to three people to the Space Station at a time. It has been upgraded numerous times since its first use in the 1960s for the Soviet lunar program and was the only crewed vehicle for the Station from 2011 to 2020.

Soyuz

Progress is Russia’s cargo vehicle for the Space Station. It is based on the same design as Soyuz and is sometimes used to test new communication and navigation systems before they are implemented on crewed Soyuz flights.

Shenzhou 14

China launched its 3rd crewed mission to its Tiangong space station. The crew will spend six months overseeing a large expansion of Tiangong with the addition of two new science and habitation modules named Wentian and Mengtian. 

Shenzhou-20

Shenzhou 11

Shenzhou 11 is longest and most-recent Chinese human spaceflight.  Lasting 33 days, its crew visited the Tiangong 2 space station and tested life support equipment and explored how to work for prolonged periods in space.

Tianzhou (‘Heavenly Ship’) is a Chinese automated cargo spacecraft developed to resupply China’s space station.

Tianzhou

Shenzhou is a Soyuz-derived spacecraft built and flown by China. Larger than its Russian counterpart, Shenzhou is made up of three parts. Like Soyuz, only the reentry module with the crew survives reentry and landing.
