Soyuz MS-18
Soyuz MS-18 is a Soyuz spaceflight that was launched on 9 April 2021 at 07:42:41 UTC. It transported three members of the Expedition 64 crew to the International Space Station (ISS). Soyuz MS-18 is the 146th crewed flight of a Soyuz spacecraft. The crew consists of a Russian commander, a Russian flight engineer, and an American flight engineer of NASA. The spacecraft is scheduled to return to Earth on 13 October 2021 following 180 days in space. It is expected that the flight will serve as the landing vehicle for the Russian film director Klim Shipenko and actress Yulia Peresild who will launch to the ISS aboard Soyuz MS-19 and spend approximately a week in space in order to film a movie, "Vyzov" ().

On 9 March 2021, Roscosmos announced that, at NASA's request, they would alter the existing flight plan to include Mark Vande Hei instead of Sergei Korsakov in the main crew and Anne McClain instead of Dmitriy Petelin in the backup one effectively extending NASA astronauts' flights on Soyuz spacecraft for at least another flight. This arrangement is an in-kind service for the supplemental crew transportation service between NASA and Roscosmos, without any financial exchange between the two agencies.
