Soyuz MS-04 was aSoyuz spaceflight that launched on 20 April 2017 to the ISS.[1] It transported two members of theExpedition 52 crew to theInternational Space Station. Soyuz MS-04 was the 133rd flight of a Soyuz spacecraft. The crew consisted of a Russian commander and an American flight engineer. It was the first of the Soyuz MS series to rendezvous with the Station in approximately 6 hours, instead of the 2 day orbital rendezvous used for the previous launches. It was also the first Soyuz to launch with only 2 crew members sinceSoyuz TMA-2.
