Crew notes

Richard Garriott flew on TMA-13 as a guest of the Russian government through a spaceflight participant program run by Space Adventures. His role aboard the Soyuz is referred to as a Spaceflight Participant in English-language Russian Federal Space Agency documents, and NASA documents and press briefings.
Salizhan Sharipov had originally been assigned to command this Soyuz flight and participate in Expedition 18, but was replaced by Yury Lonchakov.
