How many questions are in this quiz?

This quiz has 108 questions on space station expeditions, crews, and major milestones.

What topics are covered in the space station expeditions quiz?

It covers crews, expedition/increment history, mission firsts, long-duration records, and key station milestones across multiple programs.

What is the quiz format?

Each question has 4 options and there is no timer, so you can take your time before answering.

Can I choose the difficulty or number of questions?

Yes. Pick your preferred difficulty and select the question count before you begin to tailor the session length.

Why do I keep mixing up expeditions and missions?

Many expeditions reuse vehicles and repeat crew members, which makes names and numbers easy to swap. Use the station era and approximate dates to narrow it down.

About this quiz

What you’ll explore

Space station history is a chain of expeditions—each with a crew, a purpose, and a milestone. This quiz focuses on who flew, what they accomplished, and how key stations and programs evolved across decades.

Every question uses 4 options and there’s no timer, so you can think through mission context instead of racing the clock.

Skills you’ll practice

You’ll sharpen recall of expedition numbering, commander/crew roles, and which missions marked “firsts” (first dockings, first long stays, first international crews). Expect a blend of timeline reasoning and detail spotting across Salyut, Skylab, Mir, and the ISS era.

Common pitfalls (and how to avoid them)

Many players mix up similarly named expeditions, confuse launch vehicles or spacecraft types, or swap “first to do X” milestones between programs. When in doubt, anchor your guess to the station era (early Soviet stations vs. Shuttle/ISS assembly vs. modern long-duration increments).

Watch for look-alike crew names and repeated flyers across different expeditions
Don’t confuse expedition/increment numbers with mission designations (e.g., Soyuz vs. Shuttle flights)
Separate station milestones (assembly steps, module arrivals) from crew milestones (records, EVAs)
Use dates as a sanity check: which program was active in that year?
Read carefully for “first,” “longest,” and “only” wording—those details often decide the answer

Difficulty and question count

Difficulty is balanced as Mixed: you’ll see approachable questions about famous stations and headline records alongside deeper cuts on specific expeditions and lesser-known crews. You can choose the question count before starting for a quick run or a full-length challenge, and you can also select an easier or harder setting to match your comfort level.
