The mission
Expedition 75 began aboard the International Space Station on 26 July 2026 under NASA commander Jessica Meir, and NASA states it will run until spring 2027. NASA introduced the incoming Crew-13 team on 3 August 2026, targeting launch no earlier than 12 September. The agency's transition plan commits to operating the station through 2030, and in June 2024 NASA awarded SpaceX a contract worth up to $843 million to build the US Deorbit Vehicle, a modified Dragon that NASA will own and operate to perform the station's final controlled re-entry.
