  • Oleg Platonov (Roscosmos): A former Lieutenant Colonel in the Russian Air Force, Platonov was selected as a cosmonaut in 2018. This will be his first spaceflight. His inclusion is part of the U.S.-Russia seat exchange agreement, which ensures a continual Russian and American presence aboard the ISS.
  • Kimiya Yui (JAXA): Representing the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA), Yui previously spent nearly five months on the ISS during Soyuz TMA-17M in 2015. Once aboard, he’ll reunite with fellow Japanese astronaut Takuya Onishi, currently serving on Crew-10.
  • Mike Fincke (NASA): A veteran astronaut with over a year of spaceflight experience across two Soyuz missions and one Shuttle flight, Fincke was long slated to fly on Boeing’s Starliner Crew Flight Test. However, Starliner delays led NASA to reassign him to a SpaceX Dragon mission instead. He’ll serve as Crew-11’s pilot.
  • Zena Cardman (NASA): A member of NASA’s 2017 astronaut class, “The Turtles,” Cardman is making her first trip to space. She was initially assigned to Crew-9, but the reshuffling caused by Starliner’s flight test left empty seats that needed to be filled by returning astronauts. Cardman was reassigned to Crew-11 as a result.
