NASA Sets Insurance Coverage for Astronaut Tracy C. Dyson, Crewmates Return

.NASA rocketeer Tracy C. Dyson, accompanied by Roscosmos astronauts Nikolai Chub as well as Oleg Kononenko, will deviate the International Spaceport Station aboard the Soyuz MS-25 space probe, and come back to Planet.Dyson, Chub, and Kononenko will certainly undock coming from the orbiting laboratory's Prichal component at 4:37 a.m. EDT Monday, Sept. 23, heading for a parachute-assisted landing at 8 a.m. (5 p.m. Kazakhstan time) on the steppe of Kazakhstan, southeast of the community of Dzhezkazgan.NASA's online coverage of return and associated activities will stream on NASA+ and the agency's web site. Discover just how to stream NASA material via a variety of platforms, featuring social media.A change of order service also are going to stream on NASA systems at 10:15 a.m. Sunday, Sept. 22. Kononenko will certainly turn over station demand to NASA rocketeer Suni Williams for Trip 72, which begins during the time of undocking.Covering 184 times in space, Dyson's mission consists of covering 2,944 tracks of the Earth as well as a journey of 78 thousand kilometers. The Soyuz MS-25 space probe introduced March 23, and arrived at the station March 25, with Dyson, Roscosmos cosmonaut Oleg Novitskiy, and spaceflight individual Harbor Vasilevskaya of Belarus. Novitskiy and also Vasilevskaya were aboard the terminal for 12 days before coming back home along with NASA astronaut Loral O'Hara on April 6.Kononenko and also Chub, who launched with O'Hara to the terminal on the Soyuz MS-24 space capsule final September, will definitely come back after 374 days precede and also a trip of 158.6 thousand kilometers, spanning 5,984 orbits.Dyson devoted her 4th spaceflight aboard the terminal as an Exploration 70 and also 71 air travel developer, as well as departs along with Kononenko, accomplishing his fifth flight in to room as well as accruing an all-time document 1,111 days in orbit, as well as Chub, who completed his first spaceflight.After returning to Planet, the 3 team participants will soar on a helicopter coming from the landing internet site to the rehabilitation hosting area of Karaganda, Kazakhstan. Dyson will certainly board a NASA airplane as well as come back to Houston, while Kononenko as well as Chub will depart for a training bottom in Star Urban area, Russia.NASA's protection is as complies with (perpetuity Eastern and subject to change based on real-time operations):.Sunday, Sept. 22.10:15 a.m.-- Expedition 71/72 improvement of demand service begins on NASA+ and the firm's web site.Monday, Sept. 23.12:45 a.m.-- Hatch closing coverage starts on NASA+ and the firm's website.1:05 a.m.-- Hatch closing.4 a.m.-- Undocking insurance coverage begins on NASA+ and the firm's site.4:37 a.m.-- Undocking.6:45 a.m.-- Coverage starts for deorbit burn, access, and also touchdown on NASA+ and also the organization's site.7:05 a.m.-- Deorbit burn.8 a.m.-- Touchdown.For more than 20 years, individuals have stayed and worked continuously aboard the International Space Station, evolving scientific knowledge, and also creating investigation discoveries that are actually certainly not feasible on Earth. The station is a crucial testbed for NASA to understand as well as get over the challenges of long-duration spaceflight as well as to extend business options in low Planet orbit. As business firms focus on providing individual area transport solutions and also locations as aspect of a strong low Earth orbit economic condition, NASA is actually centering more resources on profound space goals to the Moon as component of Artemis to prepare for future human goals to Mars.Discover more about International Space Station study as well as 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 Room Center, Houston281-483-5111sandra.p.jones@nasa.gov.
