NASA Sets Protection for Rocketeer Tracy C. Dyson, Crewmates Come Back

.NASA rocketeer Tracy C. Dyson, accompanied by Roscosmos cosmonauts Nikolai Chub and Oleg Kononenko, will certainly deviate the International Spaceport Station aboard the Soyuz MS-25 space capsule, as well as go back to The planet.Dyson, Chub, and Kononenko will certainly undock coming from the orbiting lab's Prichal element at 4:37 a.m. EDT Monday, Sept. 23, heading for a parachute-assisted landing at 8 a.m. (5 p.m. Kazakhstan opportunity) on the steppe of Kazakhstan, southeast of the town of Dzhezkazgan.NASA's online insurance coverage of return and relevant activities will definitely flow on NASA+ and also the organization's website. Learn just how to stream NASA content via a wide array of systems, featuring social media sites.An adjustment of command event also will definitely flow on NASA platforms at 10:15 a.m. Sunday, Sept. 22. Kononenko is going to give up station demand to NASA astronaut Suni Williams for Exploration 72, which begins back then of undocking.Extending 184 times precede, Dyson's objective features covering 2,944 orbits of the Planet as well as a trip of 78 million miles. The Soyuz MS-25 space probe launched March 23, and also came to the station March 25, with Dyson, Roscosmos astronaut Oleg Novitskiy, and spaceflight participant Marina Vasilevskaya of Belarus. Novitskiy and also Vasilevskaya were aboard the station for 12 days prior to coming back home with NASA rocketeer Loral O'Hara on April 6.Kononenko and Chub, that launched with O'Hara to the station on the Soyuz MS-24 space capsule final September, will certainly come back after 374 days in space and a vacation of 158.6 million miles, extending 5,984 orbits.Dyson spent her 4th spaceflight aboard the station as an Exploration 70 and also 71 trip developer, and departs along with Kononenko, finishing his 5th flight right into space and also accruing an everlasting document 1,111 times in orbit, as well as Chub, that finished his very first spaceflight.After returning to Earth, the 3 staff members are going to soar on a chopper from the touchdown internet site to the recovery hosting city of Karaganda, Kazakhstan. Dyson will board a NASA airplane and go back to Houston, while Kononenko and Chub will certainly depart for a training bottom in Star Urban area, Russia.NASA's protection is actually as observes (all times Eastern as well as conditional based on real-time procedures):.Sunday, Sept. 22.10:15 a.m.-- Expedition 71/72 improvement of demand event starts on NASA+ as well as the company's internet site.Monday, Sept. 23.12:45 a.m.-- Hatch shutting protection begins on NASA+ as well as the firm's site.1:05 a.m.-- Hatch closing.4 a.m.-- Undocking coverage starts on NASA+ as well as the agency's website.4:37 a.m.-- Undocking.6:45 a.m.-- Coverage starts for deorbit burn, access, as well as landing on NASA+ and the company's site.7:05 a.m.-- Deorbit melt.8 a.m.-- Touchdown.For greater than two decades, folks have resided as well as operated continuously aboard the International Spaceport station, advancing technology, as well as creating research study discoveries that are not feasible in the world. The station is actually a vital testbed for NASA to know and beat the obstacles of long-duration spaceflight as well as to expand industrial options in low The planet orbit. As office companies pay attention to offering individual space transport companies as well as locations as portion of a strong low Earth track economic climate, NASA is actually centering extra resources on deep room objectives to the Moon as portion of Artemis in preparation for future human purposes to Mars.Find out more regarding International Spaceport station analysis and also 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.
