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

.NASA rocketeer Tracy C. Dyson, accompanied by Roscosmos astronauts Nikolai Chub and Oleg Kononenko, are going to deviate the International Spaceport Station aboard the Soyuz MS-25 spacecraft, as well as go back to Earth.Dyson, Chub, and also Kononenko will undock coming from the orbiting research laboratory's Prichal module 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 city of Dzhezkazgan.NASA's real-time insurance coverage of yield as well as similar tasks will stream on NASA+ and the company's site. Discover exactly how to stream NASA material by means of an assortment of systems, including social media sites.A change of command event also will certainly stream on NASA systems at 10:15 a.m. Sunday, Sept. 22. Kononenko is going to give up station command to NASA astronaut Suni Williams for Expedition 72, which starts at the moment of undocking.Extending 184 days precede, Dyson's purpose features covering 2,944 tracks of the Planet and also an adventure of 78 million miles. The Soyuz MS-25 spacecraft launched March 23, as well as arrived at the station March 25, along with Dyson, Roscosmos cosmonaut Oleg Novitskiy, as well as spaceflight participant Harbor Vasilevskaya of Belarus. Novitskiy as well as Vasilevskaya were actually aboard the station for 12 days just before returning home along with NASA rocketeer Loral O'Hara on April 6.Kononenko and Chub, that introduced along with O'Hara to the terminal on the Soyuz MS-24 space capsule final September, will definitely return after 374 days in space and a travel of 158.6 million kilometers, reaching 5,984 orbits.Dyson invested her 4th spaceflight aboard the terminal as a Trip 70 and 71 tour engineer, and also departs with Kononenko, accomplishing his fifth trip in to space and also building up an all-time record 1,111 days in orbit, and Chub, that completed his first spaceflight.After returning to Planet, the three workers members will soar on a helicopter coming from the landing site to the recuperation setting up metropolitan area of Karaganda, Kazakhstan. Dyson will definitely panel a NASA airplane and come back to Houston, while Kononenko and also Chub will leave for a training foundation in Star Area, Russia.NASA's protection is as follows (all times Eastern and subject to change based on real-time procedures):.Sunday, Sept. 22.10:15 a.m.-- Exploration 71/72 change of demand service starts on NASA+ and the firm's site.Monday, Sept. 23.12:45 a.m.-- Hatch closing protection starts on NASA+ and also the organization's website.1:05 a.m.-- Hatch closing.4 a.m.-- Undocking coverage begins on NASA+ as well as the organization's web site.4:37 a.m.-- Undocking.6:45 a.m.-- Coverage starts for deorbit burn, access, and landing on NASA+ as well as the company's website.7:05 a.m.-- Deorbit burn.8 a.m.-- Landing.For much more than 20 years, folks have stayed and also worked consistently aboard the International Space Station, advancing accurate knowledge, and also creating analysis breakthroughs that are actually certainly not feasible on Earth. The place is actually a vital testbed for NASA to know and beat the obstacles of long-duration spaceflight and also to grow industrial options in low The planet orbit. As commercial business concentrate on giving individual room transit companies and destinations as component of a strong low The planet orbit economic condition, NASA is concentrating extra information on serious space missions to the Moon as aspect of Artemis in preparation for potential individual goals to Mars.Learn more about International Space Station analysis as well as operations 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 Center, Houston281-483-5111sandra.p.jones@nasa.gov.
