caption_attribution_description: English: Soyuz MS-13 mission patch The circular Soyuz MS-13 crew patch focuses on the Soyuz launcher, depicted sitting on the Baikonur launch pad, while the service tower is opening as the spaceship is preparing to be launched into orbit. With the craft enclosed in the rocket nosecone, the launcher scene is surrounded by silhouetted stages of the Soyuz's lifecycle during its mission to the International Space Station. To the left is the ship approaching the orbital facility, which itself is depicted at the top of the design, while the missions end is illustrated by the parachute-assisted landing of the descent module. Three gold star to the left of the ISS represent the spaceship crew, consisting of Russian commander Skvortsov, NASA astronaut Morgan and ESA astronaut Parmitano. Their names are positioned on the left while the Roscosmos logo is shown on the right of the design, underneath the spacecraft's designation.
context_page_description: Soyuz MS-13, also designated ISS flight 59S, was a crewed Soyuz mission launched on 20 July 2019 – the 50th anniversary of the first moon landing – carrying three members of the Expedition 60 crew to the International Space Station: a Russian commander, an American and a European flight engineer. Soyuz MS-13 was the 142nd flight of a Soyuz spacecraft. It was at one point the last Soyuz flight contracted by NASA in the expectation that subsequent astronaut transport would be provided by the Commercial Crew Program, but in early 2019 NASA sought to purchase two additional Soyuz seats to provide greater certainty given delays in that program.
