NASA Establishes Coverage for Astronaut Tracy C. Dyson, Crewmates Come Back

.NASA astronaut Tracy C. Dyson, accompanied by Roscosmos cosmonauts Nikolai Chub as well as Oleg Kononenko, will certainly deviate the International Space Station aboard the Soyuz MS-25 spacecraft, and go back to The planet.Dyson, Chub, and also Kononenko will certainly undock coming from the orbiting lab's Prichal component at 4:37 a.m. EDT Monday, Sept. 23, heading for a parachute-assisted touchdown at 8 a.m. (5 p.m. Kazakhstan opportunity) on the steppe of Kazakhstan, southeast of the city of Dzhezkazgan.NASA's real-time coverage of return and also related tasks will definitely flow on NASA+ as well as the agency's website. Discover just how to stream NASA content by means of an assortment of systems, consisting of social networks.A modification of order service likewise will stream on NASA platforms at 10:15 a.m. Sunday, Sept. 22. Kononenko will certainly hand over station command to NASA rocketeer Suni Williams for Trip 72, which begins at the time of undocking.Stretching over 184 times precede, Dyson's mission includes dealing with 2,944 orbits of the Earth and also a journey of 78 thousand kilometers. The Soyuz MS-25 space probe introduced March 23, as well as reached the station March 25, along with Dyson, Roscosmos cosmonaut Oleg Novitskiy, and also spaceflight participant Marina Vasilevskaya of Belarus. Novitskiy as well as Vasilevskaya were aboard the terminal for 12 days before coming back home with NASA rocketeer Loral O'Hara on April 6.Kononenko as well as Chub, who introduced along with O'Hara to the station on the Soyuz MS-24 spacecraft final September, will come back after 374 days precede and a travel of 158.6 million kilometers, spanning 5,984 orbits.Dyson devoted her fourth spaceflight aboard the station as a Trip 70 as well as 71 trip engineer, and also departs along with Kononenko, completing his fifth air travel right into area as well as building up an enduring document 1,111 days in track, and Chub, who finished his 1st spaceflight.After going back to Planet, the 3 workers members will fly on a helicopter coming from the landing web site to the rehabilitation setting up area of Karaganda, Kazakhstan. Dyson will definitely board a NASA aircraft as well as return to Houston, while Kononenko and Chub will definitely depart for a training foundation in Star Urban area, Russia.NASA's coverage is as adheres to (perpetuity Eastern as well as subject to change based on real-time procedures):.Sunday, Sept. 22.10:15 a.m.-- Trip 71/72 adjustment of command service starts on NASA+ as well as the organization's web site.Monday, Sept. 23.12:45 a.m.-- Hatch closing coverage begins on NASA+ as well as the organization's web site.1:05 a.m.-- Hatch closing.4 a.m.-- Undocking protection starts on NASA+ and also the company's web site.4:37 a.m.-- Undocking.6:45 a.m.-- Protection starts for deorbit burn, entry, and also landing on NASA+ as well as the firm's web site.7:05 a.m.-- Deorbit melt.8 a.m.-- Landing.For much more than twenty years, individuals have stayed as well as functioned consistently aboard the International Spaceport station, progressing scientific knowledge, and also bring in research study advances that are actually not possible on Earth. The station is actually an important testbed for NASA to know and eliminate the difficulties of long-duration spaceflight and to increase business opportunities in reduced Planet orbit. As commercial firms concentrate on offering human room transit companies and also places as aspect of a robust low The planet track economic situation, NASA is actually centering more information on serious area purposes to the Moon as component of Artemis in preparation for future human purposes to Mars.Discover more regarding International Space Station research study as well as procedures 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 Area Center, Houston281-483-5111sandra.p.jones@nasa.gov.
