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

.NASA rocketeer Tracy C. Dyson, accompanied by Roscosmos astronauts Nikolai Chub and Oleg Kononenko, will certainly deviate the International Space Station aboard the Soyuz MS-25 space capsule, and also return to The planet.Dyson, Chub, as well as Kononenko will definitely undock coming from the orbiting lab's Prichal element 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 town of Dzhezkazgan.NASA's online coverage of yield as well as associated tasks will certainly flow on NASA+ and also the company's site. Find out how to flow NASA material with a range of platforms, featuring social media sites.An adjustment of command ceremony likewise will definitely flow on NASA platforms at 10:15 a.m. Sunday, Sept. 22. Kononenko will certainly hand over terminal order to NASA rocketeer Suni Williams for Exploration 72, which begins during the time of undocking.Spanning 184 days in space, Dyson's objective consists of covering 2,944 orbits of the Earth and a quest of 78 million miles. The Soyuz MS-25 space probe released March 23, and also arrived at the terminal March 25, along with Dyson, Roscosmos astronaut Oleg Novitskiy, as well as spaceflight participant Harbor Vasilevskaya of Belarus. Novitskiy and Vasilevskaya were actually aboard the station for 12 times just before returning home along with NASA rocketeer Loral O'Hara on April 6.Kononenko and Chub, that introduced with O'Hara to the station on the Soyuz MS-24 space probe last September, will definitely return after 374 days in space as well as an excursion of 158.6 thousand miles, spanning 5,984 orbits.Dyson spent her fourth spaceflight aboard the terminal as an Exploration 70 and also 71 air travel designer, and also leaves along with Kononenko, completing his 5th flight into room as well as accruing an all-time file 1,111 days in orbit, as well as Chub, that accomplished his initial spaceflight.After returning to Earth, the three team participants will soar on a helicopter from the landing web site to the recuperation holding metropolitan area of Karaganda, Kazakhstan. Dyson will panel a NASA aircraft and also come back to Houston, while Kononenko as well as Chub will definitely leave for an instruction bottom in Superstar Urban area, Russia.NASA's protection is as complies with (perpetuity Eastern as well as subject to change based upon real-time procedures):.Sunday, Sept. 22.10:15 a.m.-- Exploration 71/72 change of command event starts on NASA+ as well as the organization's site.Monday, Sept. 23.12:45 a.m.-- Hatch shutting protection starts on NASA+ as well as the agency's internet site.1:05 a.m.-- Hatch closing.4 a.m.-- Undocking protection begins on NASA+ and the agency's site.4:37 a.m.-- Undocking.6:45 a.m.-- Insurance coverage starts for deorbit burn, entry, and touchdown on NASA+ and the company's site.7:05 a.m.-- Deorbit shed.8 a.m.-- Landing.For more than 20 years, individuals have actually stayed and operated continually aboard the International Space Station, advancing scientific knowledge, as well as making research advancements that are actually not achievable on Earth. The station is actually a crucial testbed for NASA to know as well as get rid of the obstacles of long-duration spaceflight and to extend commercial options in reduced The planet orbit. As business providers concentrate on providing human room transportation solutions as well as locations as portion of a robust low Planet track economic climate, NASA is actually centering much more information on profound space goals to the Moon as component of Artemis to prepare for future human missions to Mars.Find out more about International Space Station investigation 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 Room Facility, Houston281-483-5111sandra.p.jones@nasa.gov.
