A typical crew for a shuttle mission consists of 5-7 astronauts.
The Apollo missions had different crew sizes, with the majority of missions having a crew of three astronauts. However, the first two Apollo missions (Apollo 7 and Apollo 9) were crewed by three astronauts, while Apollo 8 and Apollo 10 had crews of four. Apollo 11, which famously landed on the moon, had a crew of three.
The crew of the International Space Station (ISS) changes regularly as astronauts rotate in and out. The current crew typically consists of a mix of astronauts from different space agencies around the world, such as NASA, Roscosmos, ESA, JAXA, and CSA, working together on various scientific experiments and maintenance tasks aboard the ISS.
In the short term the primary taxi will be the fourth generation 'Russian Soyuz'. As a matter of fact, the Soyuz has been the primary means of transporting astronauts to ISS since 2003. The space shuttles primary role has been hauled up new modules/components for ISS assembly while also providing the occasional crew rotation.

Astronauts use space shuttles( trasport people and equipment), Space probes (robotic exploration, Spacecrafts (trasport crew, equipment, and other technologies)
