NASA Sets Protection for Astronaut Tracy C. Dyson, Crewmates Profits

.NASA rocketeer Tracy C. Dyson, accompanied by Roscosmos cosmonauts Nikolai Chub and Oleg Kononenko, will depart from the International Spaceport Station aboard the Soyuz MS-25 space capsule, and go back to Planet.Dyson, Chub, and Kononenko will certainly undock from the orbiting lab's Prichal module at 4:37 a.m. EDT Monday, Sept. 23, heading for a parachute-assisted touchdown at 8 a.m. (5 p.m. Kazakhstan time) on the steppe of Kazakhstan, southeast of the city of Dzhezkazgan.NASA's live coverage of yield and similar tasks will certainly stream on NASA+ and also the organization's web site. Know exactly how to flow NASA content by means of a selection of platforms, featuring social media.An adjustment of demand service also are going to stream on NASA systems at 10:15 a.m. Sunday, Sept. 22. Kononenko will definitely turn over station demand to NASA astronaut Suni Williams for Trip 72, which begins during the time of undocking.Covering 184 days precede, Dyson's goal features covering 2,944 tracks of the Planet and an adventure of 78 million kilometers. The Soyuz MS-25 space capsule introduced March 23, and came to the station March 25, with Dyson, Roscosmos astronaut Oleg Novitskiy, and also spaceflight attendee Marina Vasilevskaya of Belarus. Novitskiy as well as Vasilevskaya were aboard the station for 12 times prior to coming back home with NASA rocketeer Loral O'Hara on April 6.Kononenko and Chub, that launched along with O'Hara to the terminal on the Soyuz MS-24 space capsule last September, will certainly come back after 374 days precede and a travel of 158.6 million miles, extending 5,984 orbits.Dyson devoted her 4th spaceflight aboard the station as an Expedition 70 as well as 71 tour developer, and leaves with Kononenko, finishing his fifth tour right into room and also accruing an enduring document 1,111 days in orbit, as well as Chub, who accomplished his initial spaceflight.After going back to Earth, the three staff members will soar on a chopper from the touchdown internet site to the rehabilitation staging city of Karaganda, Kazakhstan. Dyson will definitely panel a NASA airplane as well as return to Houston, while Kononenko as well as Chub will leave for an instruction foundation in Superstar City, Russia.NASA's protection is as observes (perpetuity Eastern and also subject to change based on real-time procedures):.Sunday, Sept. 22.10:15 a.m.-- Trip 71/72 modification of command ceremony begins on NASA+ and also the firm's website.Monday, Sept. 23.12:45 a.m.-- Hatch closing insurance coverage starts on NASA+ as well as the firm's internet site.1:05 a.m.-- Hatch closing.4 a.m.-- Undocking protection begins on NASA+ as well as the firm's internet site.4:37 a.m.-- Undocking.6:45 a.m.-- Coverage begins for deorbit burn, access, and touchdown on NASA+ as well as the organization's web site.7:05 a.m.-- Deorbit get rid of.8 a.m.-- Touchdown.For greater than twenty years, people have actually resided and worked continually aboard the International Spaceport station, advancing scientific knowledge, as well as creating research study developments that are not possible on Earth. The place is actually an essential testbed for NASA to know and get over the problems of long-duration spaceflight and to extend business possibilities in reduced The planet orbit. As industrial companies focus on offering individual room transport services as well as destinations as component of a durable low Earth track economic situation, NASA is actually focusing a lot more resources on serious room goals to the Moon as component of Artemis to prepare for potential human goals to Mars.Discover more regarding International Space Station investigation and functions at:.https://www.nasa.gov/station.- end-.Josh Finch/ Claire O'SheaHeadquarters, Washington202-358-1100joshua.a.finch@nasa.gov/ claire.a.o'shea@nasa.gov.Sandra JonesJohnson Room Facility, Houston281-483-5111sandra.p.jones@nasa.gov.
