The MS-29 crew as previously announced will be changing due to a new seat swap agreement expected to be signed between NASA and Roscosmos soon. According to Roscosmos:
Beginning with 2025, the flight duration of Soyuz MS spacecraft is set to be increased from six to seven-nine months, which will help economize on a spaceship every two years.
The agreement will additionally stipulate two flights by NASA astronauts aboard the Soyuz MS-28 and Soyuz MS-29 spaceships in 2025 and 2026, correspondingly, and three flights by Roscosmos cosmonauts on board Crew Dragon spacecraft (another additional flight in 2025, one flight in 2026 and one flight in 2027).
