Soyuz MS-15 was a Soyuz spaceflight launched on 25 September 2019,[2] transporting two members of the Expedition 61 crew and a short duration visiting crew member to the International Space Station. Soyuz MS-15 was the 143rd flight of a Soyuz spacecraft with a crew. It was the last flight of Soyuz-FG launcher before its replacement by the Soyuz-2 in the crewed spaceflight role, and also the final launch from Site 1/5 (Gagarin's Start). The crew consisted of a Russian commander, an American flight engineer, and the first Emirati astronaut.[5][6] To celebrate this event, pictures of the Soyuz launcher and of Hazza Al Mansouri were projected on Burj Khalifa, the tallest building in the world.[7]
