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

.NASA rocketeer Tracy C. Dyson, alonged with Roscosmos cosmonauts Nikolai Chub as well as Oleg Kononenko, will certainly deviate the International Spaceport Station aboard the Soyuz MS-25 space probe, and also go back to The planet.Dyson, Chub, as well as Kononenko will certainly undock coming from the orbiting lab's Prichal element at 4:37 a.m. EDT Monday, Sept. 23, going to a parachute-assisted landing at 8 a.m. (5 p.m. Kazakhstan time) on the steppe of Kazakhstan, southeast of the town of Dzhezkazgan.NASA's online coverage of yield as well as associated tasks are going to flow on NASA+ and the agency's site. Know how to stream NASA web content with an assortment of platforms, featuring social media sites.A change of order event likewise will definitely stream on NASA platforms at 10:15 a.m. Sunday, Sept. 22. Kononenko is going to hand over station command to NASA astronaut Suni Williams for Trip 72, which starts at that time of undocking.Covering 184 days precede, Dyson's goal consists of covering 2,944 orbits of the Earth as well as an experience of 78 thousand miles. The Soyuz MS-25 space probe launched March 23, as well as arrived at the station March 25, with Dyson, Roscosmos cosmonaut Oleg Novitskiy, and also spaceflight individual Harbour Vasilevskaya of Belarus. Novitskiy and Vasilevskaya were aboard the terminal for 12 times prior to coming back home along with NASA rocketeer Loral O'Hara on April 6.Kononenko and Chub, that launched with O'Hara to the terminal on the Soyuz MS-24 space probe final September, will definitely come back after 374 times in space and also an excursion of 158.6 million kilometers, reaching 5,984 orbits.Dyson invested her fourth spaceflight aboard the terminal as an Exploration 70 as well as 71 flight developer, and also leaves with Kononenko, completing his fifth trip right into area as well as accumulating an enduring record 1,111 times in orbit, and also Chub, that completed his very first spaceflight.After coming back to Earth, the three staff members will soar on a helicopter from the touchdown site to the rehabilitation holding urban area of Karaganda, Kazakhstan. Dyson will board a NASA aircraft and also go back to Houston, while Kononenko as well as Chub are going to depart for a training foundation in Star City, Russia.NASA's insurance coverage is as adheres to (perpetuity Eastern as well as subject to change based on real-time functions):.Sunday, Sept. 22.10:15 a.m.-- Exploration 71/72 adjustment of command ceremony starts on NASA+ as well as the agency's website.Monday, Sept. 23.12:45 a.m.-- Hatch shutting protection begins on NASA+ as well as the agency's internet site.1:05 a.m.-- Hatch closing.4 a.m.-- Undocking protection begins on NASA+ and the firm's internet site.4:37 a.m.-- Undocking.6:45 a.m.-- Protection begins for deorbit burn, entry, and also landing on NASA+ and the agency's site.7:05 a.m.-- Deorbit get rid of.8 a.m.-- Landing.For more than two decades, individuals have resided as well as worked consistently aboard the International Space Station, evolving accurate knowledge, and also creating research study developments that are actually not feasible in the world. The station is actually a critical testbed for NASA to comprehend and eliminate the difficulties of long-duration spaceflight and also to increase industrial possibilities in low The planet track. As business business pay attention to offering individual area transit services as well as locations as aspect of a robust low Planet track economy, NASA is concentrating much more sources on deep space purposes to the Moon as aspect of Artemis in preparation for future individual objectives to Mars.Find out more concerning International Spaceport station research as well as 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 Area Center, Houston281-483-5111sandra.p.jones@nasa.gov.
