Latest News from Space Station Research - NASA
Find out the latest information about space station scientific research and technology demonstrations going on in the orbital laboratory.
www.nasa.govHere’s the latest I can share based on recent public reporting:
- As of late 2025, Expedition 73 was aboard the ISS with 10 crew members: Roscosmos commanders Sergey Ryzhikov, Oleg Platonov, Sergey Kud-Sverchkov, Sergei Mikaev, and Alexey Zubritsky; NASA astronauts Zena Cardman, Mike Fincke, Jonny Kim, and Chris Williams; and JAXA astronaut Kimiya Yui. This arrangement followed the arrival of three new crewmates and reflects a temporary expansion of the station crew during handover periods.[1][3]
- Typical ISS rotations involve a Soyuz or Dragon/Commercial Crew vehicle bringing new crew while others depart, in a cadence that supports about 6–8 month stays per crew to maintain continuous occupancy. Recent coverage around late 2025 confirms this pattern during Expedition 73’s transition.[3][5]
- If you’re looking for the most up-to-the-minute status, NASA and major space news outlets (Space.com, CBS News, Reuters) publish frequent live updates on crew rosters, arrivals, and departures. For example, Space.com summarized crew listings during late November 2025, while CBS News reported on Crew 11 changes around similar periods.[5][3]
Would you like me to fetch a concise, current roster from a specific source (NASA, Space.com, or another outlet) and provide a short, timestamped update? I can also pull the latest news headlines about the ISS and summarize any planned upcoming crew rotations.
