NASA Confirms Expedition 74 Will Continue ISS Work After Crew-11 Exit
NASA has confirmed that the three-member Expedition 74 crew will continue operations aboard the International Space Station following the early return of SpaceX Crew-11. U.S. astronaut Chris Williams and Russian cosmonauts Sergey Kud-Sverchkov and Sergei Mikaev are carrying out scientific experiments and routine maintenance while awaiting the arrival of four new crewmates. The Crew-12 mission, scheduled to launch in February 2026, will restore the station to full staffing and ensure continuity of research in orbit.
