Soyuz MS-19

Soyuz MS-19 is a Soyuz spaceflight planned for launch in September 2021. It will transport three members of the Expedition 67 [1] crew to the International Space Station. MS-19 will be the 147th flight of a crewed Soyuz spacecraft. The crew will consist of a Russian commander and two flight engineers whose nationalities will rely on an NASA decision to buy a seat on the mission.[2][3]
