Crew-10 has been at the International Space Station for five months, and is set to return a week after Saturday's arrival of the Crew-11 team. The returning crew consists of NASA astronauts Anne McClain and Nichile Ayers, along with JAXA astronaut Takuya Onishi and Roscosmos cosmonaut, Kirill Peskov.

Crew-11 will send NASA astronauts Zena Cardman and Mike Fincke, along with Kimiya Yui of JAXA (the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency) and cosmonaut Oleg Platonov to the ISS for a roughly six-month stay. Cardman is the mission's commander, Fincke is the pilot and Yui and Platonov are mission specialists.

The Crew-9 handover has been delayed amid rumors that NASA could be planning to return the troubled Starliner spacecraft without its astronauts.
