Crew notes

Richard Garriott flew on TMA-13 as a guest of the Russian government through a spaceflight participant program run by Space Adventures.[4] 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.[9]
Salizhan Sharipov had originally been assigned to command this Soyuz flight and participate in Expedition 18, but was replaced by Yury Lonchakov.[10]
