Nicole Aunapu Mann, Josh A. Cassada, Koichi Wakata och Anna Kikina anslöt till expeditionen den 6 oktober 2022.
Samantha Cristoforetti, Kjell N. Lindgren, Robert Hines och Jessica Watkins lämnade expeditionen den 14 oktober 2022.
Den 15 december 2022 uppstod en läcka på ett av Sojuz MS-22 kylsystem.
Den 11 februari 2023 uppstod även en läcka på ett av Progress MS-21 kylsystem.
Den 26 februari 2023 dockade den då obemannade Sojuz MS-23 för att ersätta den skadade Sojuz MS-22
Stephen G. Bowen, Warren Hoburg, Sultan Al Neyadi och Andrey Fedyaev anslöt till expeditionen den 3 mars 2023.

Mission insignia for International Space Station (ISS) Expedition 69.
- The Expedition 69 patch reflects the mission of the International Space Station to enable long-term exploration of space, for the benefit of Earth. The unique mosaic design is inspired by the vintage, Art Deco stained glass window in Star City, Russia that provides a stylistic portrayal of the beauty of space exploration. The number "69" forms a circle to symbolize the international partnerships and collaboration that make the space station program possible. The Earth is the central element inside the "6" as our home planet and the primary beneficiary of research onboard space station. The star shining from Earth, spanning multiple continents, represents the ground teams around the world who support every aspect of this expedition and ensure our safe retum home. The space station itself signifies the contributions of thousands of people over the past several decades, whose vision and sustained efforts have made this miracle of a laboratory an unparalleled success. Looking towards the future, the next big steps in human space exploration are reflected in the Moon and Mars. The sun around Mars is symbolic of the human imagination, curiosity, and ingenuity that draws us to explore, The two white stars in the sky are taken directly from the Star City mural. The larger star represents the family and friends whose love and support makes this endeavor possible. The smaller star represents the explorers who came before us and helped pave the way to the stars.

- The Expedition 67 patch celebrates our on-going international mission to conduct science and research to improve life on Earth and extend our presence in the solar system.
- The International Space Station (ISS) is poised in the foreground to recognize the contributions of the thousands of engineers, scientists, researchers, trainers, fabricators, leaders, and dreamers who have made this miracle of engineering and sustained operations possible.
- Our beautiful home, the planet Earth, serves as a central element of the patch, just as it is central to the ISS’s mission. While we endeavor to unlock the mysteries of the universe, we are also committed to better understanding the Earth and how we can protect it for future generations.
- Three stars shine bright on a field of black, representing the United States, Russia, and Italy, the three countries with crewmembers on this particular expedition. The numerous stars further scattered across the night sky represent the additional countries that comprise the ISS partnership.
- The life-giving rays of the sun represent our crew’s families, whose love and support make this endeavor possible.

- International Space Station Expedition 68 marks the 24th year of operation since the start of its assembly on orbit. Today, the U.S., Russia, Japan, Canada, and the European Space Agency are partnering in the operation of the largest ever orbital outpost managed by humankind.
- Seven sparkling stars in the vastness of space represent crewmembers and experts on the ground operating the space station. Bright sunbeams illuminate the station, a platform for scientific research, Earth and astronomical observation, education, as well as development of new technologies necessary for the exploration beyond low-Earth orbit, on the Moon and Mars.
