Dragon 1 Sochi Torch and polestar:
Following the departure of Soyuz TMA-09M, carrying Yurchikin, Nyberg and Parmitano, Hopkins and his two crewmates joined the Expedition 38 crew, with Kotov taking over as Station commander. Prior to the departure of Soyuz TMA-09M they were shortly joined with the remaining three Expedition 38 crew members: Roscosmos cosmonaut Mikhail Tyrin, NASA astronaut Rick Mastracchio and JAXA astronaut Koichi Wakata aboard Soyuz TMA-11M. This unusual "direct handover" was in order to allow the crew of Soyuz TMA-11M to bring up an Olympic torch, to be returned by the crew of Soyuz TMA-09M days later as part of the Olympic Torch Relay for the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia[10]. During Expedition 38 Hopkins participated in two spacewalks alongside Mastracchio lasting five hours and 28 minutes and 7 hours and 30 minutes respectively. During the spacewalks Mastracchio and Hopkins performed maintenance and upgrades on the exterior of the station. Also during ISS-38 Hopkins was aboard the station for the berthing and release of Cygnus CRS Orb-1, the first operational flight of the Cygnus spacecraft[11].
In August 2018, Hopkins and Victor Glover were assigned to fly on the first mission to the International Space Station on the SpaceX Crew Dragon as part of NASA's Commercial Crew Development Program.[13] The two were later joined by NASA astronaut Shannon Walker and JAXA astronaut Soichi Noguchi in March 2020.[14] In June 2020, Hopkins was nominated for transfer from the Air Force to the new Space Force.[15]
