NASA Puts Protection for Rocketeer Tracy C. Dyson, Crewmates Return

.NASA rocketeer Tracy C. Dyson, accompanied by Roscosmos astronauts Nikolai Chub and Oleg Kononenko, are going to deviate the International Spaceport Station aboard the Soyuz MS-25 spacecraft, and also go back to The planet.Dyson, Chub, and Kononenko is going to undock from the orbiting laboratory's Prichal element at 4:37 a.m. EDT Monday, Sept. 23, heading for a parachute-assisted landing at 8 a.m. (5 p.m. Kazakhstan opportunity) on the steppe of Kazakhstan, southeast of the community of Dzhezkazgan.NASA's online insurance coverage of return and also associated tasks will flow on NASA+ as well as the agency's web site. Know exactly how to flow NASA web content by means of a variety of systems, consisting of social media.An improvement of demand service additionally are going to stream on NASA systems at 10:15 a.m. Sunday, Sept. 22. Kononenko will certainly hand over station order to NASA rocketeer Suni Williams for Trip 72, which begins during the time of undocking.Reaching 184 times precede, Dyson's objective consists of dealing with 2,944 orbits of the Earth as well as a quest of 78 thousand miles. The Soyuz MS-25 spacecraft introduced March 23, and arrived at the station March 25, along with Dyson, Roscosmos cosmonaut Oleg Novitskiy, and spaceflight individual Port Vasilevskaya of Belarus. Novitskiy and also Vasilevskaya were aboard the terminal for 12 days prior to returning home with NASA astronaut Loral O'Hara on April 6.Kononenko as well as Chub, that launched along with O'Hara to the terminal on the Soyuz MS-24 space probe last September, will come back after 374 days precede and a journey of 158.6 million kilometers, reaching 5,984 orbits.Dyson invested her 4th spaceflight aboard the terminal as an Expedition 70 and also 71 trip designer, as well as leaves along with Kononenko, completing his fifth flight in to area and also building up an enduring file 1,111 times in track, as well as Chub, who accomplished his initial spaceflight.After coming back to Planet, the three crew members will fly on a helicopter coming from the touchdown website to the recovery staging area of Karaganda, Kazakhstan. Dyson will board a NASA plane as well as come back to Houston, while Kononenko and also Chub will definitely depart for a training foundation in Superstar City, Russia.NASA's protection is actually as observes (perpetuity Eastern and also subject to change based on real-time operations):.Sunday, Sept. 22.10:15 a.m.-- Exploration 71/72 adjustment of demand ceremony begins on NASA+ and also the company's internet site.Monday, Sept. 23.12:45 a.m.-- Hatch closing insurance coverage begins on NASA+ as well as the company's internet site.1:05 a.m.-- Hatch closing.4 a.m.-- Undocking protection starts on NASA+ as well as the organization's website.4:37 a.m.-- Undocking.6:45 a.m.-- Insurance coverage starts for deorbit burn, access, and landing on NASA+ and also the firm's internet site.7:05 a.m.-- Deorbit shed.8 a.m.-- Touchdown.For greater than twenty years, folks have stayed as well as worked constantly aboard the International Spaceport station, accelerating technology, and also creating analysis advances that are not feasible on Earth. The station is actually a crucial testbed for NASA to know as well as conquer the problems of long-duration spaceflight and also to expand commercial opportunities in low The planet track. As business business focus on delivering individual area transit companies and locations as portion of a robust reduced Earth orbit economic condition, NASA is actually concentrating more resources on serious space purposes to the Moon as component of Artemis in preparation for potential individual objectives to Mars.Discover more concerning International Space Station investigation as well as functions at:.https://www.nasa.gov/station.- side-.Josh Finch/ Claire O'SheaHeadquarters, Washington202-358-1100joshua.a.finch@nasa.gov/ claire.a.o'shea@nasa.gov.Sandra JonesJohnson Space Center, Houston281-483-5111sandra.p.jones@nasa.gov.
