NASA plans to host the Expedition 74 crew upon their return from the International Space Station, with a public event at Space Center Houston. Four astronauts—Jessica Meir, Jack Hathaway, Chris Williams, and ESA astronaut Sophie Adenot—along with Roscosmos cosmonauts Sergey Kud-Sverchkov and Sergei Mikaev will share mission highlights at 6 p.m. CST on November 17.

An awards ceremony will follow the presentation, and the astronauts will be available for media interviews before the event. Williams, Kud-Sverchkov, and Mikaev launched on Soyuz MS-28 from Kazakhstan on November 27, 2025, and returned on July 26 after 241 days in space. Meir, Hathaway, and Adenot launched on Dragon from Florida on February 13 and splashed down on October 8, after 237 days in orbit.

During their missions, the crew conducted extensive scientific research, including 3D-printing technologies, human health studies, and life-support system evaluations, all contributing to NASA's Artemis program and future exploration missions.
