UMVA has learned that Russian cosmonauts Oleg Kud‑Sverchkov and Nikolai Mikayev rode to the International Space Station aboard Soyuz MS‑28 with NASA astronaut Chris Williams in late November.
Shortly after arrival, Kud‑Sverchkov assumed command of Expedition 74, succeeding NASA veteran Mike Fincke and steering the orbiting laboratory through a critical phase of research and maintenance.
