Andrei Babkin

Andrei Nikolaevich Babkin is a Russian engineer and cosmonaut who was selected in April 2010. He was scheduled to make his first flight into space in April 2020 onboard Soyuz MS-16, although in February 2020 he and Nikolai Tikhonov were removed from the flight for medical reasons. Russian media reported that based on future crew assignments, he was unlikely to ever fly into space for Roscosmos. In September 2024, he was removed from the roster of active cosmonauts.
