Kedatangan Crew-10 akan menandai persiapan kepulangan kru sebelumnya, Crew-9. Dua anggota Crew-9, Nick Hague (NASA) dan Aleksandr Gorbunov (Rusia), tiba di ISS pada September lalu dengan kapsul Crew Dragon Freedom, yang sebelumnya memiliki dua kursi kosong untuk astronot NASA Suni Williams dan Butch Wilmore.

Williams dan Wilmore awalnya tiba di ISS menggunakan kapsul Starliner Boeing dalam misi uji awak pertama pada 5 Juni 2024. Namun, masalah teknis menyebabkan NASA memperpanjang masa tinggal mereka di luar angkasa dan akhirnya memutuskan mengembalikan mereka ke Bumi menggunakan Crew Dragon Freedom.

Crew-10 awalnya direncanakan menggunakan kapsul Crew Dragon baru, tetapi karena keterlambatan produksi, NASA memilih menggunakan kapsul Endurance yang telah teruji.
