Expedition 63 var den 63:e expeditionen till Internationella rymdstationen (ISS). Expeditionen började den 17 april 2020 då delar av Expedition 62s besättning återvände till jorden med Sojuz MS-15.
På grund av förseningar i det amerikanska rymdprogrammet, var det vid expeditionens start den 17 april, inte fastställt om expeditionen skulle bestå av fler än tre rymdfarare.[1]
Douglas G. Hurley och Robert L. Behnken anlände till stationen med SpX-DM2, den 31 maj 2020. Det var vid dockningen inte fastställt hur länge de båda skulle vara en del av expeditionen.[2] De båda var del av expeditionen fram till den 1 augusti 2020, då de påbörjade sin resa tillbaks till jorden.
Expeditionen avslutades den 21 oktober 2020 då Sojuz MS-16 lämnade rymdstationen.

ISS Expedition 62 Patch.png

The official insignia of the Expedition 62 crew
- The Expedition 62 patch embodies two main themes: first, the importance of the global partnership on which the International Space Station was founded, and second, the paradigm shifting perspective provided by seeing our planet Earth from above with human eyes. Based on a vintage mosaic found near the headquarters of the Gagarin Cosmonaut Training Center, the two space explorers flying in formation represent friendship between space agencies and the people that work in them. The shining star in the hand is a symbol of unity under a common quest for discovery, as this partnership continues to burn bright into the future.
- Generated by the flying astronauts, the shock wave signifies the powerful impact of human space exploration and the scientific research conducted on the space station, strengthened when we work as a team, side by side with all of our international partners. The backdrop of the large sun behind our planet Earth reminds us that we are but a very small component of our solar system and our universe. The sun is also responsible for fueling life on Earth, sustaining the biosphere (symbolized by the leaf) surrounded by the precious, fragile atmosphere (represented by the clouds).
- This imagery reminds us of our duty to protect our home planet, to preserve our environment and to carry principles of responsible environmental stewardship with us as we explore the universe. This birch leaf combines the principal elements, embodying nature, science and the global alliance, as these trees are indigenous to regions that crewmembers from all sides call home.

- The Expedition 64 patch shows the International Space Station illuminated by the city lights of earth. The illumination of the space station modules represents the enduring partnership and continuous human presence on station for 20 years. The modules from all partner countries represent the international cooperation, which sustains this presence in space. The aurora and light behind the horizon are beautiful features of our home planet, and the Moon and stars in the background shows our future exploration beyond Earth.

- The Expedition 63 patch represents an intersection of the past and the beginning of a new dawn in human spaceflight as we continue to inhabit the International Space Station (ISS), aim towards returning to the moon and plan for the journey to Mars.
- Thirteen illuminated stars along the top of the patch commemorate the Apollo 13 celebrating its 50th anniversary during Expedition 63. The swoosh in the shape of the number "63" orbiting around the earth and moon honors the Apollo program and the future missions to go beyond low earth orbit.
- The atom, shown overlaid on a vibrant sunrise, is the Expedition 63 crew's call sign symbolizing the energy to revolve, or orbit around a nucleus or in their case, the Earth. The international crew depicts the importance of the collaboration in preserving the ISS as a microgravity and space environment research laboratory.
