Cosmonaut career
Skvortsov completed basic space training from January 1998 to November 1999. In November, 1999, he was first recognized as a test-cosmonaut. He was in advanced training at the International Space Station beginning in January 2000. Skvortsov was deployed as a flight engineer and Soyuz TMA commander in March 2008.
On Expedition 23, Skvortsov served as a Flight Engineer for the International Space Station (ISS). On April 2, 2010, from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan, he and fellow Russian cosmonaut Mikhail Korniyenko and NASA astronaut Tracy Caldwell-Dyson traveled to the ISS aboard Soyuz TMA-18. On May 6, 2010, he commemorated his 44th birthday in space aboard the ISS.
Skvortsov was the commander of the ISS Expedition 24. On May 31, 2010, aboard the ISS Expedition 23 commander Oleg Kotov, he handed over his responsibilities to Skvortsov at the traditional "Change of Command" ceremony.
Ending Expedition 24, the Soyuz TMA-18 spacecraft carrying Commander Alexander Skvortsov, Mikhail Kornienko, and NASA astronaut Tracy Caldwell-Dyson unmoored from the space station at 10:02 p.m. EDT on September 24, 2010. The Soyuz crew landed near Arkalyk, Kazakhstan, at 5:23 a.m. GMT on September 25 after a normal descent.
Skvortsov expressed his excitement about returning to Earth and revealing his findings to an audience, adding: "I love spicy food, I make really hot chili sauce myself." I seriously regretted it. On the ISS, I had finished off all of the spicy ketchup stock, and it shocked everybody by preparing and eating wasabi sandwiches. That's my fuel, as good as a rocket's."
Skvortsov, along with Oleg Artemyev and Steven Swanson as a flight engineer on the Expedition 39 crew, returned to space aboard Soyuz TMA-12M. The mission was launched on March 25, 2014 and landed on September 11, 2014.
Skvortsov was launched on July 20, 2019 and landed at the International Space Station on the same day as the Expedition 60/61 crew.
