In the history of manned spacelight, how many crewmen have launched and landed in different spacecraft?The latest to do so was Peggy Whitson, who launched in Soyuz MS-03 and landed in Soyuz MS-04. She is number 130 by my count, which includes those who have done so more than once. Anyone have a different number?

Before Christina Koch, UAE astronaut Hazza Al Mansouri will launch on Soyuz MS-15 and land on Soyuz MS-12. |

The first to be launched and then return on different spacecraft: Alexei Yeliseyev and Yevgeny Khrunov, launched on Soyuz 5 and returned on Soyuz 4 after an EVA transfer, January 1969. |

I think only Peggy Whitson and Leopold Eyharts have launched and landed in different Soyuz and Shuttle spacecraft.Peggy Whitson: - STS-111 (landed in STS-113)
- Soyuz TMA-11
- Soyuz MS-03 (landed in Soyuz MS-04)
Leopold Eyharts: - Soyuz TM-27 (landed in Soyuz TM-26)
- STS-122 (landed in STS-123)

...after an EVA transfer
Apparently, an EVA transfer was briefly considered for the Gemini 7/6A mission in 1965. It is mentioned in NASA SP-4203, Chapter 12: Schirra and Stafford wanted to add extravehicular activity to the flight plans — perhaps Stafford could change places with Lovell in a demonstration of space rescue — but they met a pronounced rebuff. Borman's goal was a 14-day mission. He wanted nothing to do with any proposal that might threaten it. "Wally could have had all the EVA he wanted," Borman later said, "but I wasn't going to open the hatch." There were real hazards in trying to exchange pilots in mid space, since the life support hoses would have to be detached and reconnected in a vacuum, leaving the pilots with only the backup system to depend on as they traveled between the two spacecraft. It might have looked great in the headlines, Borman added, "but one little slip could have lost the farm." |

Who would have landed in Soyuz MS-10 had that launch been successful? |

The Soyuz MS-10 landing crew would have been Aleksey Ovchinin, Nick Hague and Hazza Al Mansouri. |

Thanks for that.The two cosmonauts (Vladimir Lyakhov and Valeri Ryumin) who launched in the Soyuz 32 spacecraft landed in the Soyuz 34 spacecraft. But noboby launched in Soyuz 34 and nobody landed in Soyuz 32. The "Mir Hardware Heritage" has this brief description of the two flights: Soyuz 32: Its long-duration crew spent 175 days on Salyut 6. Less than 2 months into their stay, Soyuz 33 failed to dock because of a main engine malfunction. Soyuz 32 returned to Earth unmanned with a cargo of experiment results and equipment no longer in use after Soyuz 34 had docked unmanned with Salyut 6 to replace it. Soyuz 34: Launched unmanned to replace Soyuz 32 following the Soyuz 33 failure. Soyuz 34 included main engine modifications made to prevent a recurrence of the Soyuz 33 failure. |

Crews that have launched and landed in different types of spacecraft, on the same mission: - Vladimir Dezhurov, Gennadi Strekalov and Norman Thagard launched on Soyuz TM-21 and landed on STS-71.
- Anatoli Solovyov and Nikolai Budarin launched on STS-71 and landed on Soyuz TM-21.
- Yuri Gidzenko, Sergei Krikalev and William Shepherd launched on Soyuz TM-31 and landed on STS-102.
- Sergei Zaletin, Frank DeWinne and Yuri Lonchakov launched on Soyuz TMA-1 and landed on Soyuz TM-34.
- Nikolai Budarin, Kenneth Bowersox and Donald Pettit launched on STS-113 and landed on Soyuz TMA-1.

Andrew Morgan launched on Soyuz MS-13 and recently landed on Soyuz MS-15. So that makes the total 133 to date by my count. |

Klim Shipenko and Yulia Peresild launched on Soyuz MS-19 back on October 5, and landed on Soyuz MS-18 earlier today. |
