Bio
Artemyev studied at Bauman Moscow State Technical University and worked with RSC Energia before cosmonaut selection. He developed a public profile through extensive mission photography, outreach, and educational activity from orbit, while also carrying out Russian-segment maintenance and research work.
His three completed flights launched on Soyuz TMA-12M in 2014, Soyuz MS-08 in 2018, and Soyuz MS-21 in 2022. The ISS numbers attached to those stays are station increments, not separate launches, so the flight record is three mission cards rather than a long list of expedition labels.
Artemyev has also completed eight totaling more than fifty-three hours. Crew-12 is not listed as a completed mission in the record because he was removed from that flight assignment before launch.
