What Hype is tracking

The Soyuz MS-29 arrivals raise the ISS population to 10 and shift Expedition 75 into its next phase of in-orbit crew turnover and onboard mission-life adjustments, which affects planning across systems, research schedules, and onboard staffing.
This update follows the pre-launch staging for Expedition 74’s replacement crew, including the specific Soyuz MS-29 July 14 timeline outlined in Expedition 74 set for new crew launch: NASA astronaut Anil Menon and two cosmonauts to fly to the ISS on Soyuz MS-29 on July 14.
With NASA’s Anil Menon joining alongside two Roscosmos cosmonauts, the cluster underscores near-term continuity of US–Russia crew presence at the ISS, relevant for stakeholders tracking human-spaceflight operations and partnership cadence.
