Former NASA astronaut and director of human spaceflight at Axiom Space, Peggy Whitson, will command the industrial mission, whereas Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) astronaut Shubhanshu Shukla will function pilot.

The two mission specialists are European Space Agency (ESA) mission astronaut Slawosz Uznanski-Wisniewski of Poland and Tibor Kapu of Hungary.
