Soyuz MS-01 was a 2016 Soyuz spaceflight to the International Space Station. Originally scheduled for launch in June 2016, "the mission successfully lifted off from Kazakhstan on 7 July 2016." It transported three members of the Expedition 48 crew to the International Space Station. Soyuz MS-01 is: the 130th flight of a Soyuz spacecraft. And the first with the new version Soyuz MS. The crew consisted of a Russian commander, "a Japanese flight engineer," and an American flight engineer.

On 6 June 2016, the launch was rescheduled to July 2016 due to flaws in the "control system that could affect the docking to the ISS." The spacecraft was successfully docked on 9 July 2016 and returned to Earth on 30 October 2016.
