NASA Establishes Protection for Rocketeer Tracy C. Dyson, Crewmates Profits

.NASA astronaut Tracy C. Dyson, alonged with Roscosmos astronauts Nikolai Chub as well as Oleg Kononenko, will definitely depart from the International Spaceport Station aboard the Soyuz MS-25 spacecraft, and return to The planet.Dyson, Chub, and Kononenko is going to undock from the orbiting lab's Prichal module at 4:37 a.m. EDT Monday, Sept. 23, going to a parachute-assisted touchdown at 8 a.m. (5 p.m. Kazakhstan time) on the steppe of Kazakhstan, southeast of the city of Dzhezkazgan.NASA's real-time coverage of return as well as similar activities will stream on NASA+ and the company's internet site. Discover how to flow NASA web content through an assortment of systems, consisting of social networks.A change of command ceremony additionally are going to flow on NASA platforms at 10:15 a.m. Sunday, Sept. 22. Kononenko will certainly hand over station demand to NASA astronaut Suni Williams for Expedition 72, which starts back then of undocking.Spanning 184 days precede, Dyson's goal features dealing with 2,944 orbits of the Planet and also an experience of 78 million kilometers. The Soyuz MS-25 space probe launched March 23, and arrived at the terminal March 25, with Dyson, Roscosmos cosmonaut Oleg Novitskiy, as well as spaceflight participant Harbor Vasilevskaya of Belarus. Novitskiy and Vasilevskaya were aboard the terminal for 12 times prior to coming back home along with NASA astronaut Loral O'Hara on April 6.Kononenko as well as Chub, that launched along with O'Hara to the station on the Soyuz MS-24 space capsule final September, are going to return after 374 days precede and a trip of 158.6 thousand miles, extending 5,984 orbits.Dyson devoted her 4th spaceflight aboard the terminal as a Trip 70 and also 71 trip developer, and leaves along with Kononenko, completing his fifth tour into space and accruing an all-time record 1,111 days in track, as well as Chub, who finished his initial spaceflight.After going back to The planet, the 3 workers members will soar on a helicopter from the landing web site to the healing staging urban area of Karaganda, Kazakhstan. Dyson will board a NASA plane and return to Houston, while Kononenko and Chub will certainly leave for an instruction base in Superstar Area, Russia.NASA's coverage is as observes (all times Eastern and subject to change based on real-time functions):.Sunday, Sept. 22.10:15 a.m.-- Trip 71/72 change of demand ceremony begins on NASA+ and the organization's website.Monday, Sept. 23.12:45 a.m.-- Hatch shutting protection starts on NASA+ as well as the organization's site.1:05 a.m.-- Hatch closing.4 a.m.-- Undocking insurance coverage begins on NASA+ as well as the agency's internet site.4:37 a.m.-- Undocking.6:45 a.m.-- Insurance coverage begins for deorbit burn, access, and also landing on NASA+ and also the firm's internet site.7:05 a.m.-- Deorbit shed.8 a.m.-- Touchdown.For greater than 20 years, individuals have actually stayed and functioned regularly aboard the International Spaceport station, progressing technology, and bring in research breakthroughs that are not feasible on Earth. The station is a vital testbed for NASA to recognize and overcome the obstacles of long-duration spaceflight and to expand industrial options in reduced Earth orbit. As office firms concentrate on offering human room transit companies and also destinations as component of a strong low The planet orbit economic climate, NASA is actually concentrating even more resources on deep space purposes to the Moon as part of Artemis to prepare for future human purposes to Mars.Learn more about International Spaceport station analysis and functions at:.https://www.nasa.gov/station.- side-.Josh Finch/ Claire O'SheaHeadquarters, Washington202-358-1100joshua.a.finch@nasa.gov/ claire.a.o'shea@nasa.gov.Sandra JonesJohnson Space Center, Houston281-483-5111sandra.p.jones@nasa.gov.
