Soyuz MS-04 is a Soyuz spaceflight planned for 20 April 2017. It will transport two members of the Expedition 51 crew to the International Space Station. MS-04 will be the 133rd flight of a Soyuz spacecraft. The crew will consist of a Russian commander and an American flight engineer.
Due to a decision to cut down the number of participating Russian astronauts in 2017, only two astronauts will be launched on Soyuz MS-04. Originally set to include 3 people, the crew assignments have been changed in November 2016 by NASA and RSA. Of the original crew, Alexander Misurkin and Mark T. Vande Hei have been assigned to Soyuz MS-06 instead.
