Expedition 51 is the 51st expedition to the International Space Station. Peggy Whitson, Oleg Novitskiy and Thomas Pesquet will be transferred from Expedition 50. Peggy Whitson is the intended commander of Expedition 51, the first woman to command two expeditions to the ISS, having previously commanded Expedition 16.
Due to a decision to cut down the number of participating Russian cosmonauts in 2017, only two cosmonauts will be launched on Soyuz MS-04 on April 10, 2017 - bringing the total crew number to five.
