Soyuz MS-13, also designated ISS flight59S, was a crewedSoyuz mission launched on 20 July 2019 –the 50th anniversary of the firstMoon landing –[2] carrying three members of theExpedition 60 crew to theInternational Space Station: a Russian commander, an American flight engineer, 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 theCommercial Crew Program,[5] but in early 2019, NASA sought to purchase two additional Soyuz seats to provide greater certainty given delays in that program.[6]

The Soyuz crew relocated the MS-13 spacecraft from the aft port of theZvezda module and performed a manual docking on thePoisk module on 26 August 2019.[4] This cleared the way forSoyuz MS-14 to perform an automatic docking onZvezda, after a faulty signal amplifier onPoisk caused MS-14's first docking attempt to abort on 24 August 2019.[8] The last time a Soyuz spacecraft was relocated was in August 2015 during theSoyuz TMA-16M mission.[9]
