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

.NASA rocketeer Tracy C. Dyson, alonged with Roscosmos cosmonauts Nikolai Chub and Oleg Kononenko, will definitely deviate the International Space Station aboard the Soyuz MS-25 spacecraft, and return to The planet.Dyson, Chub, and Kononenko will undock coming from the orbiting lab's Prichal element at 4:37 a.m. EDT Monday, Sept. 23, going to a parachute-assisted landing at 8 a.m. (5 p.m. Kazakhstan time) on the steppe of Kazakhstan, southeast of the town of Dzhezkazgan.NASA's live protection of gain and also similar tasks will certainly flow on NASA+ as well as the company's site. Discover just how to flow NASA information via a selection of systems, featuring social media.A modification of demand event likewise will stream on NASA systems at 10:15 a.m. Sunday, Sept. 22. Kononenko is going to surrender terminal order to NASA rocketeer Suni Williams for Exploration 72, which begins at that time of undocking.Covering 184 days precede, Dyson's mission features covering 2,944 orbits of the Earth as well as a trip of 78 million miles. The Soyuz MS-25 space probe released March 23, as well as reached the terminal March 25, with Dyson, Roscosmos astronaut Oleg Novitskiy, and also spaceflight participant Port Vasilevskaya of Belarus. Novitskiy as well as Vasilevskaya were aboard the station for 12 times before coming back home along with NASA rocketeer Loral O'Hara on April 6.Kononenko as well as Chub, that launched along with O'Hara to the station on the Soyuz MS-24 space probe last September, will certainly come back after 374 times in space and an excursion of 158.6 thousand kilometers, reaching 5,984 orbits.Dyson invested her 4th spaceflight aboard the station as an Expedition 70 and 71 trip engineer, as well as departs along with Kononenko, completing his 5th tour right into room as well as accumulating an enduring document 1,111 times in track, and Chub, who accomplished his first spaceflight.After coming back to The planet, the three workers participants are going to fly on a helicopter from the landing web site to the rehabilitation staging city of Karaganda, Kazakhstan. Dyson is going to panel a NASA plane and also return to Houston, while Kononenko and also Chub will definitely leave for a training bottom in Star City, Russia.NASA's insurance coverage is as observes (all times Eastern and subject to change based on real-time functions):.Sunday, Sept. 22.10:15 a.m.-- Trip 71/72 modification of order event begins on NASA+ as well as the company's website.Monday, Sept. 23.12:45 a.m.-- Hatch closing coverage starts on NASA+ as well as the agency's site.1:05 a.m.-- Hatch closing.4 a.m.-- Undocking coverage starts on NASA+ as well as the company's web site.4:37 a.m.-- Undocking.6:45 a.m.-- Protection begins for deorbit burn, admittance, as well as landing on NASA+ as well as the company's web site.7:05 a.m.-- Deorbit burn.8 a.m.-- Landing.For greater than two decades, people have stayed and also worked regularly aboard the International Spaceport station, advancing scientific knowledge, and making research discoveries that are actually not feasible on Earth. The place is actually an important testbed for NASA to comprehend as well as get rid of the difficulties of long-duration spaceflight and also to grow commercial possibilities in reduced The planet orbit. As business providers pay attention to providing individual room transportation companies as well as locations as portion of a robust low The planet orbit economic climate, NASA is actually centering a lot more information on deep space goals to the Moon as component of Artemis to prepare for potential human goals to Mars.Learn more regarding International Spaceport station research 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 Space Facility, Houston281-483-5111sandra.p.jones@nasa.gov.
