Andrei Fedyaev

Andrei Fedyaev is a Russian astronaut who was part of a four-person crew launched by SpaceX to the International Space Station (ISS). This crew, which also included astronauts from the US and France, arrived at the ISS on Saturday, February 14, 2026. Their arrival is newsworthy because they are replacing a previous crew that had to be medically evacuated from the ISS last month, marking NASA's first medical evacuation in 65 years of human spaceflight. Fedyaev's presence, along with his crewmates, restores the ISS to full operational strength after the unexpected departure of the previous team. The mission highlights the ongoing international collaboration in space exploration and the critical role of SpaceX in providing transportation to and from the ISS.
