Soyuz MS-19 was a Soyuz spaceflight which launched on 5 October 2021.[1] It was the 147th flight of a crewed Soyuz spacecraft. The crew members were Russian commander Anton Shkaplerov, Russian film director Klim Shipenko, and Russian actress Yulia Peresild.[2]

Shipenko and Peresild spent about twelve days on the International Space Station before returning to Earth aboard Soyuz MS-18. They filmed a movie in space, Vyzov (Russian: Вызов, lit.'The Challenge').[3] [4] Without an American astronaut, this launch was the first time in more than 21 years (since Soyuz TM-30 in 2000) that a Soyuz crew only included Russian cosmonauts and travelers. It was the first time in years that the ship had to be upgraded to be piloted by a single person at launch.[5] This is also the first mission to the ISS with an entirely Russian crew.

It landed on March 30, 2022 in The Kazakh Steppe in Kazakhstan.
