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

.NASA astronaut Tracy C. Dyson, alonged with Roscosmos cosmonauts Nikolai Chub and Oleg Kononenko, will certainly deviate the International Space Station aboard the Soyuz MS-25 space probe, as well as return to The planet.Dyson, Chub, and Kononenko is going to undock coming from the orbiting research laboratory's Prichal module at 4:37 a.m. EDT Monday, Sept. 23, going to a parachute-assisted landing at 8 a.m. (5 p.m. Kazakhstan time) on the steppe of Kazakhstan, southeast of the city of Dzhezkazgan.NASA's online coverage of gain as well as relevant tasks will certainly stream on NASA+ as well as the agency's site. Know just how to stream NASA content via a wide array of platforms, including social media.A modification of order service also are going to stream on NASA platforms at 10:15 a.m. Sunday, Sept. 22. Kononenko will surrender terminal order to NASA astronaut Suni Williams for Expedition 72, which starts back then of undocking.Stretching over 184 times in space, Dyson's objective consists of covering 2,944 tracks of the Planet as well as an adventure of 78 thousand miles. The Soyuz MS-25 space capsule launched March 23, and also arrived at the terminal March 25, along with Dyson, Roscosmos cosmonaut Oleg Novitskiy, and spaceflight attendee Harbor Vasilevskaya of Belarus. Novitskiy and also Vasilevskaya were aboard the station for 12 times before returning home with NASA astronaut Loral O'Hara on April 6.Kononenko and also Chub, that introduced with O'Hara to the terminal on the Soyuz MS-24 space capsule last September, are going to return after 374 times in space as well as a journey of 158.6 million miles, reaching 5,984 tracks.Dyson invested her fourth spaceflight aboard the station as an Exploration 70 and also 71 tour designer, and also leaves along with Kononenko, finishing his 5th trip in to space and building up an enduring file 1,111 days in orbit, and Chub, who finished his initial spaceflight.After returning to Earth, the three workers members will fly on a helicopter coming from the landing website to the recuperation hosting metropolitan area of Karaganda, Kazakhstan. Dyson will certainly panel a NASA aircraft and also return to Houston, while Kononenko as well as Chub will definitely leave for an instruction bottom in Star City, Russia.NASA's insurance coverage is actually as observes (all times Eastern and subject to change based upon real-time procedures):.Sunday, Sept. 22.10:15 a.m.-- Exploration 71/72 modification of demand event begins on NASA+ and also the agency's site.Monday, Sept. 23.12:45 a.m.-- Hatch closing coverage starts on NASA+ and the agency's website.1:05 a.m.-- Hatch closing.4 a.m.-- Undocking coverage begins on NASA+ and also the agency's web site.4:37 a.m.-- Undocking.6:45 a.m.-- Insurance coverage starts for deorbit burn, entry, and landing on NASA+ as well as the organization's internet site.7:05 a.m.-- Deorbit get rid of.8 a.m.-- Touchdown.For more than 20 years, people have actually resided and operated consistently aboard the International Space Station, progressing scientific knowledge, and bring in research breakthroughs that are certainly not achievable on Earth. The place is a crucial testbed for NASA to recognize and get over the obstacles of long-duration spaceflight and also to extend commercial options in low Planet orbit. As commercial firms focus on providing human space transit companies as well as locations as component of a robust low Planet track economic condition, NASA is concentrating even more resources on serious area goals to the Moon as portion of Artemis to prepare for potential individual purposes to Mars.Discover more about International Space Station research as well as 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 Space Facility, Houston281-483-5111sandra.p.jones@nasa.gov.
