NASA Sets Coverage for Rocketeer Tracy C. Dyson, Crewmates Return

.NASA astronaut Tracy C. Dyson, alonged with Roscosmos cosmonauts Nikolai Chub and also Oleg Kononenko, are going to deviate the International Spaceport Station aboard the Soyuz MS-25 spacecraft, and come back to Earth.Dyson, Chub, and also Kononenko will definitely undock coming from the orbiting lab's Prichal component at 4:37 a.m. EDT Monday, Sept. 23, going to 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 real-time insurance coverage of return and also related tasks will certainly stream on NASA+ as well as the organization's internet site. Learn how to flow NASA content through a range of platforms, including social networks.A modification of order event also will definitely stream on NASA systems at 10:15 a.m. Sunday, Sept. 22. Kononenko is going to give up station command to NASA astronaut Suni Williams for Exploration 72, which starts at the time of undocking.Covering 184 days in space, Dyson's mission features covering 2,944 orbits of the Earth and an experience of 78 thousand miles. The Soyuz MS-25 space capsule released March 23, and got to the station March 25, with Dyson, Roscosmos astronaut Oleg Novitskiy, and spaceflight attendee Harbor Vasilevskaya of Belarus. Novitskiy and also Vasilevskaya were actually aboard the terminal for 12 days prior to returning home with NASA astronaut Loral O'Hara on April 6.Kononenko and Chub, who introduced with O'Hara to the station on the Soyuz MS-24 space probe final September, will come back after 374 times precede and a journey of 158.6 thousand kilometers, extending 5,984 tracks.Dyson devoted her fourth spaceflight aboard the terminal as a Trip 70 and also 71 air travel developer, and also departs with Kononenko, completing his 5th trip right into room and also accumulating an all-time file 1,111 days in orbit, and Chub, who accomplished his 1st spaceflight.After returning to Planet, the three staff members will soar on a helicopter from the landing internet site to the rehabilitation hosting urban area of Karaganda, Kazakhstan. Dyson will certainly board a NASA plane and also return to Houston, while Kononenko and also Chub are going to depart for a training foundation in Superstar Area, Russia.NASA's protection is actually as observes (all times Eastern as well as subject to change based upon real-time procedures):.Sunday, Sept. 22.10:15 a.m.-- Exploration 71/72 improvement of order service starts on NASA+ as well as the agency's web site.Monday, Sept. 23.12:45 a.m.-- Hatch shutting insurance coverage starts on NASA+ as well as the firm's internet site.1:05 a.m.-- Hatch closing.4 a.m.-- Undocking protection starts on NASA+ as well as the organization's web site.4:37 a.m.-- Undocking.6:45 a.m.-- Insurance coverage starts for deorbit burn, access, and landing on NASA+ as well as the firm's internet site.7:05 a.m.-- Deorbit get rid of.8 a.m.-- Landing.For greater than twenty years, people have actually resided as well as worked consistently aboard the International Spaceport station, advancing accurate knowledge, as well as bring in research advances that are not feasible on Earth. The place is actually a vital testbed for NASA to comprehend and overcome the obstacles of long-duration spaceflight as well as to broaden business opportunities in reduced Planet track. As commercial companies focus on supplying individual room transit companies and locations as component of a strong low Planet orbit economy, NASA is actually focusing extra resources on profound space purposes to the Moon as portion of Artemis to prepare for future individual purposes to Mars.Find out more concerning International Space Station research and also operations 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.
