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

.NASA rocketeer Tracy C. Dyson, alonged with Roscosmos astronauts Nikolai Chub and also Oleg Kononenko, will certainly deviate the International Space Station aboard the Soyuz MS-25 space probe, and return to Earth.Dyson, Chub, and Kononenko is going to undock coming from the orbiting laboratory'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 community of Dzhezkazgan.NASA's online protection of return as well as related tasks will flow on NASA+ and also the firm's website. Find out how to stream NASA information with a variety of platforms, consisting of social media sites.A modification of command service also will certainly flow on NASA platforms at 10:15 a.m. Sunday, Sept. 22. Kononenko will certainly hand over terminal command to NASA rocketeer Suni Williams for Exploration 72, which begins back then of undocking.Spanning 184 days in space, Dyson's mission includes covering 2,944 orbits of the Planet as well as a quest of 78 million miles. The Soyuz MS-25 space capsule released March 23, as well as came to the terminal March 25, with Dyson, Roscosmos cosmonaut Oleg Novitskiy, and also spaceflight attendee Harbour Vasilevskaya of Belarus. Novitskiy and also Vasilevskaya were actually aboard the station for 12 days prior to coming back home along with NASA astronaut Loral O'Hara on April 6.Kononenko and also Chub, that released with O'Hara to the terminal on the Soyuz MS-24 space probe final September, are going to come back after 374 days in space and a trip of 158.6 million miles, spanning 5,984 orbits.Dyson invested her fourth spaceflight aboard the station as an Expedition 70 as well as 71 flight developer, as well as departs with Kononenko, completing his 5th flight in to space and also accruing an all-time record 1,111 days in orbit, and also Chub, who accomplished his initial spaceflight.After coming back to The planet, the 3 team participants will fly on a chopper from the touchdown web site to the healing hosting city of Karaganda, Kazakhstan. Dyson will certainly panel a NASA airplane and also return to Houston, while Kononenko and Chub will definitely leave for a training foundation in Star Area, Russia.NASA's protection is actually as adheres to (all times Eastern as well as conditional based on real-time procedures):.Sunday, Sept. 22.10:15 a.m.-- Exploration 71/72 improvement of command service begins on NASA+ and also the company's internet site.Monday, Sept. 23.12:45 a.m.-- Hatch closing insurance coverage begins on NASA+ and the company's internet site.1:05 a.m.-- Hatch closing.4 a.m.-- Undocking protection begins on NASA+ and the firm's internet site.4:37 a.m.-- Undocking.6:45 a.m.-- Coverage starts for deorbit burn, entry, as well as touchdown on NASA+ and also the organization's site.7:05 a.m.-- Deorbit melt.8 a.m.-- Touchdown.For much more than 20 years, people have actually stayed as well as functioned constantly aboard the International Spaceport station, progressing scientific knowledge, as well as creating investigation advances that are certainly not possible on Earth. The place is an important testbed for NASA to comprehend as well as eliminate the obstacles of long-duration spaceflight and to expand commercial possibilities in low Earth track. As office business pay attention to giving human area transportation companies as well as destinations as part of a durable low The planet track economic climate, NASA is centering extra information on deep space purposes to the Moon as component of Artemis in preparation for potential individual missions to Mars.Learn more concerning International Spaceport station investigation and also 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 Space Facility, Houston281-483-5111sandra.p.jones@nasa.gov.
