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

.NASA rocketeer Tracy C. Dyson, alonged with Roscosmos cosmonauts Nikolai Chub and also Oleg Kononenko, are going to deviate the International Space Station aboard the Soyuz MS-25 space probe, and also go back to The planet.Dyson, Chub, and also Kononenko will certainly undock coming from the orbiting lab's Prichal module at 4:37 a.m. EDT Monday, Sept. 23, heading for 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 live coverage of return and also similar activities will definitely flow on NASA+ as well as the agency's site. Find out exactly how to flow NASA information through an assortment of systems, featuring social media sites.An adjustment of command service also will definitely stream on NASA systems at 10:15 a.m. Sunday, Sept. 22. Kononenko will definitely entrust terminal command to NASA rocketeer Suni Williams for Exploration 72, which begins at that time of undocking.Stretching over 184 days precede, Dyson's goal consists of dealing with 2,944 tracks of the Earth as well as an experience of 78 thousand miles. The Soyuz MS-25 space capsule introduced March 23, and arrived at the station March 25, along with Dyson, Roscosmos cosmonaut Oleg Novitskiy, and also spaceflight attendee Harbour Vasilevskaya of Belarus. Novitskiy as well as Vasilevskaya were aboard the station for 12 days just before returning home with NASA rocketeer Loral O'Hara on April 6.Kononenko as well as Chub, who released along with O'Hara to the terminal on the Soyuz MS-24 space capsule final September, will come back after 374 times precede and also a vacation of 158.6 million kilometers, spanning 5,984 orbits.Dyson devoted her 4th spaceflight aboard the station as a Trip 70 as well as 71 air travel designer, as well as departs along with Kononenko, finishing his fifth flight in to room and accumulating an everlasting document 1,111 times in track, as well as Chub, who completed his 1st spaceflight.After going back to Planet, the three workers members will fly on a chopper coming from the touchdown internet site to the rehabilitation hosting area of Karaganda, Kazakhstan. Dyson will board a NASA aircraft and go back to Houston, while Kononenko and also Chub will definitely depart for an instruction bottom in Star City, Russia.NASA's insurance coverage is actually as observes (all times Eastern and conditional based upon real-time functions):.Sunday, Sept. 22.10:15 a.m.-- Trip 71/72 improvement of demand event begins on NASA+ and the agency's website.Monday, Sept. 23.12:45 a.m.-- Hatch closing insurance coverage starts on NASA+ and the organization's website.1:05 a.m.-- Hatch closing.4 a.m.-- Undocking coverage starts on NASA+ as well as the agency's web site.4:37 a.m.-- Undocking.6:45 a.m.-- Coverage begins for deorbit burn, admittance, as well as landing on NASA+ as well as the firm's website.7:05 a.m.-- Deorbit burn.8 a.m.-- Touchdown.For greater than two decades, individuals have actually resided as well as operated continuously aboard the International Spaceport station, evolving scientific knowledge, as well as making research innovations that are actually certainly not possible in the world. The station is actually a crucial testbed for NASA to know and also get over the difficulties of long-duration spaceflight and also to expand commercial possibilities in low The planet track. As commercial business concentrate on providing human space transportation services and destinations as part of a robust low Planet orbit economic condition, NASA is concentrating much more resources on deep area goals to the Moon as part of Artemis in preparation for potential individual objectives to Mars.Find out more concerning International Space Station study and operations 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 Area Facility, Houston281-483-5111sandra.p.jones@nasa.gov.
