NASA Sets Coverage for Rocketeer Tracy C. Dyson, Crewmates Come Back

.NASA astronaut Tracy C. Dyson, accompanied by Roscosmos astronauts Nikolai Chub and Oleg Kononenko, will deviate the International Space Station aboard the Soyuz MS-25 space capsule, as well as come back to Earth.Dyson, Chub, and Kononenko is going to undock coming from the orbiting lab's Prichal component at 4:37 a.m. EDT Monday, Sept. 23, going to a parachute-assisted landing at 8 a.m. (5 p.m. Kazakhstan opportunity) on the steppe of Kazakhstan, southeast of the town of Dzhezkazgan.NASA's real-time insurance coverage of yield and associated tasks will definitely flow on NASA+ and also the firm's web site. Find out how to flow NASA content with an assortment of systems, including social media.An adjustment of demand ceremony also are going to flow on NASA platforms at 10:15 a.m. Sunday, Sept. 22. Kononenko will definitely surrender terminal order to NASA rocketeer Suni Williams for Expedition 72, which starts at the moment of undocking.Spanning 184 days in space, Dyson's goal includes dealing with 2,944 orbits of the Earth and also a journey of 78 million kilometers. The Soyuz MS-25 spacecraft introduced March 23, and also reached the terminal March 25, along with Dyson, Roscosmos cosmonaut Oleg Novitskiy, and spaceflight attendee Harbour Vasilevskaya of Belarus. Novitskiy as well as Vasilevskaya were actually aboard the station for 12 days just before coming back home along with NASA rocketeer Loral O'Hara on April 6.Kononenko and also Chub, who launched along with O'Hara to the terminal on the Soyuz MS-24 spacecraft last September, will definitely come back after 374 days in space and a trip of 158.6 thousand kilometers, spanning 5,984 tracks.Dyson devoted her 4th spaceflight aboard the terminal as an Exploration 70 and also 71 air travel engineer, as well as departs with Kononenko, completing his fifth air travel in to space and building up an all-time report 1,111 days in orbit, as well as Chub, who accomplished his 1st spaceflight.After going back to The planet, the 3 crew participants will fly on a chopper coming from the touchdown site to the recuperation staging area of Karaganda, Kazakhstan. Dyson will panel a NASA plane and go back to Houston, while Kononenko and also Chub will certainly depart for a training bottom in Superstar City, Russia.NASA's protection is actually as adheres to (perpetuity Eastern and subject to change based upon real-time operations):.Sunday, Sept. 22.10:15 a.m.-- Trip 71/72 modification of command service begins on NASA+ and also the organization's internet site.Monday, Sept. 23.12:45 a.m.-- Hatch closing insurance coverage starts on NASA+ and the company's website.1:05 a.m.-- Hatch closing.4 a.m.-- Undocking coverage begins on NASA+ as well as the agency's site.4:37 a.m.-- Undocking.6:45 a.m.-- Insurance coverage begins for deorbit burn, entry, as well as touchdown on NASA+ and the firm's website.7:05 a.m.-- Deorbit burn.8 a.m.-- Landing.For more than two decades, folks have actually resided as well as functioned continually aboard the International Spaceport station, accelerating accurate knowledge, and also making study advances that are actually not feasible on Earth. The station is an important testbed for NASA to know as well as get over the problems of long-duration spaceflight as well as to increase office possibilities in low Planet orbit. As business providers focus on supplying human area transportation solutions and locations as component of a sturdy reduced Planet orbit economic climate, NASA is actually centering extra sources on serious area missions to the Moon as part of Artemis in preparation for potential human purposes to Mars.Find out more about International Space Station investigation and also 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.
