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

.NASA astronaut Tracy C. Dyson, alonged with Roscosmos astronauts Nikolai Chub and also Oleg Kononenko, are going to depart from the International Spaceport Station aboard the Soyuz MS-25 spacecraft, as well as return to Earth.Dyson, Chub, and Kononenko will definitely undock from the orbiting lab's Prichal component at 4:37 a.m. EDT Monday, Sept. 23, going to a parachute-assisted touchdown at 8 a.m. (5 p.m. Kazakhstan opportunity) on the steppe of Kazakhstan, southeast of the city of Dzhezkazgan.NASA's live protection of profit and relevant tasks will definitely stream on NASA+ and the organization's website. Find out just how to stream NASA information through a wide array of systems, consisting of social networks.A change of command event likewise will certainly stream on NASA systems at 10:15 a.m. Sunday, Sept. 22. Kononenko will definitely surrender station command to NASA rocketeer Suni Williams for Expedition 72, which starts at that time of undocking.Reaching 184 times in space, Dyson's purpose features covering 2,944 orbits of the Planet and an adventure of 78 million miles. The Soyuz MS-25 spacecraft launched March 23, and also arrived at the terminal March 25, along with Dyson, Roscosmos cosmonaut Oleg Novitskiy, and spaceflight individual Harbor Vasilevskaya of Belarus. Novitskiy and also Vasilevskaya were actually aboard the station for 12 times prior to coming back home with NASA astronaut Loral O'Hara on April 6.Kononenko as well as Chub, who released with O'Hara to the terminal on the Soyuz MS-24 spacecraft last September, will certainly return after 374 times precede and a vacation of 158.6 thousand kilometers, spanning 5,984 orbits.Dyson spent her fourth spaceflight aboard the terminal as a Trip 70 as well as 71 tour engineer, and departs along with Kononenko, finishing his 5th tour right into area and also building up an all-time record 1,111 days in track, and Chub, that finished his first spaceflight.After going back to The planet, the three crew participants are going to soar on a chopper from the landing site to the recovery staging area of Karaganda, Kazakhstan. Dyson is going to board a NASA aircraft and return to Houston, while Kononenko and also Chub will definitely leave for a training base in Superstar Metropolitan area, Russia.NASA's coverage is as adheres to (all times Eastern and also subject to change based on real-time procedures):.Sunday, Sept. 22.10:15 a.m.-- Exploration 71/72 adjustment of order event begins on NASA+ as well as the company's web site.Monday, Sept. 23.12:45 a.m.-- Hatch shutting insurance coverage begins on NASA+ as well as the company's internet site.1:05 a.m.-- Hatch closing.4 a.m.-- Undocking insurance coverage begins on NASA+ and also the firm's site.4:37 a.m.-- Undocking.6:45 a.m.-- Protection begins for deorbit burn, entry, as well as landing on NASA+ and also the firm's site.7:05 a.m.-- Deorbit burn.8 a.m.-- Touchdown.For greater than two decades, individuals have actually lived and also operated continually aboard the International Spaceport station, accelerating scientific knowledge, and bring in investigation advances that are actually not possible in the world. The station is a critical testbed for NASA to understand and also get over the challenges of long-duration spaceflight and to extend industrial chances in low The planet track. As business providers concentrate on offering individual room transit solutions as well as locations as aspect of a strong low Earth track economic climate, NASA is concentrating more resources on serious area missions to the Moon as aspect of Artemis to prepare for potential individual objectives to Mars.Discover more concerning International Space Station investigation 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 Room Facility, Houston281-483-5111sandra.p.jones@nasa.gov.
