ESA astronaut Luca Parmitano served as Flight Engineer on Expedition 60 and Commander on Expedition 61. 

 Parmitano launched onboard Soyuz MS-13 on 20 July 2019.

 He became the first DJ in space on 13 August 2019, when he played a set of electronic music from the ISS for a music festival audience in Ibiza. On 15 November, he ventured outside the ISS for the first time since his ill-fated spacewalk in 2013, on the first of at least four spacewalks to repair the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer. Luca Parmitano conducted the spacewalks to repair AMS together with NASA astronaut Andrew Morgan. Both were assisted by NASA astronauts Christina Koch and Jessica Meir who operated the Canadarm2 robotic arm from inside the Station. The spacewalks were described as the "most challenging since Hubble repairs “.  It was the first-time astronauts cut and reconnect cooling lines in orbit. The repair of AMS was completed after four spacewalks. In the last spacewalk Parmitano found a leak in one of AMS's cooling lines. The leak was fixed during the spacewalk. 

Expedition 61 ended with the landing of Soyuz MS-13 on 6 February 2020. Aboard were Luca Parmitano, ALeksandr Skvortsov and Christina Koch.
