The MS-29 crew as previously announced will be changing due to a new seat swap agreement expected to be signed between NASA and Roscosmos soon. According to Roscosmos: Beginning with 2025, the flight duration of Soyuz MS spacecraft is set to be increased from six to seven-nine months, which will help economize on a spaceship every two years.The agreement will additionally stipulate two flights by NASA astronauts aboard the Soyuz MS-28 and Soyuz MS-29 spaceships in 2025 and 2026, correspondingly, and three flights by Roscosmos cosmonauts on board Crew Dragon spacecraft (another additional flight in 2025, one flight in 2026 and one flight in 2027). |

Menon will launch aboard the Roscosmos Soyuz MS-29 spacecraft in June 2026, accompanied by Roscosmos cosmonauts Pyotr Dubrov and Anna Kikina. After launching from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan, the trio will spend approximately eight months aboard the orbiting laboratory. During his expedition, Menon will conduct scientific investigations and technology demonstrations to help prepare humans for future space missions and benefit humanity. Selected as a NASA astronaut in 2021, Menon graduated with the 23rd astronaut class in 2024. After completing initial astronaut candidate training, he began preparing for his first space station flight assignment. Menon was born and raised in Minneapolis and is an emergency medicine physician, mechanical engineer, and colonel in the United States Space Force. He holds a bachelor's degree in neurobiology from Harvard University in Cambridge, Massachusetts, a master's degree in mechanical engineering, and a medical degree from Stanford University in California. Menon completed his emergency medicine and aerospace medicine residency at Stanford and the University of Texas Medical Branch in Galveston. In his spare time, he still practices emergency medicine at Memorial Hermann's Texas Medical Center and teaches residents at the University of Texas' residency program. Menon served as SpaceX's first flight surgeon, helping to launch the first crewed Dragon spacecraft on NASA's SpaceX Demo-2 mission and building SpaceX's medical organization to support humans on future missions. He served as a crew flight surgeon for both SpaceX flights and NASA expeditions aboard the space station. | |
