.NASA rocketeer Tracy C. Dyson, alonged with Roscosmos cosmonauts Nikolai Chub as well as Oleg Kononenko, will definitely depart from the International Spaceport Station aboard the Soyuz MS-25 spacecraft, and also return to Planet.Dyson, Chub, as well as Kononenko will certainly undock from the orbiting lab's Prichal module at 4:37 a.m. EDT Monday, Sept. 23, heading for 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 protection of profit and associated activities will certainly stream on NASA+ as well as the firm's website. Discover how to flow NASA material with an assortment of systems, consisting of social media.A modification of command event also are going to stream on NASA systems at 10:15 a.m. Sunday, Sept. 22. Kononenko will certainly turn over station order to NASA rocketeer Suni Williams for Trip 72, which begins at the moment of undocking.Spanning 184 days in space, Dyson's purpose features covering 2,944 orbits of the Earth and also an adventure of 78 thousand kilometers. The Soyuz MS-25 space capsule introduced March 23, and also reached the terminal March 25, with Dyson, Roscosmos astronaut Oleg Novitskiy, and spaceflight participant Harbor Vasilevskaya of Belarus. Novitskiy and Vasilevskaya were aboard the terminal for 12 times just before coming back home with NASA rocketeer Loral O'Hara on April 6.Kononenko and Chub, who released along with O'Hara to the station on the Soyuz MS-24 space probe last September, will certainly return after 374 days in space and also a journey of 158.6 million kilometers, spanning 5,984 tracks.Dyson invested her fourth spaceflight aboard the terminal as an Exploration 70 as well as 71 tour engineer, and departs along with Kononenko, accomplishing his 5th flight right into room and also accumulating an all-time record 1,111 times in track, and Chub, that finished his 1st spaceflight.After going back to Earth, the 3 crew members are going to soar on a chopper coming from the touchdown website to the healing staging area of Karaganda, Kazakhstan. Dyson will certainly board a NASA plane and also return to Houston, while Kononenko as well as Chub will definitely leave for an instruction bottom in Celebrity Urban area, Russia.NASA's insurance coverage is as observes (perpetuity Eastern and subject to change based upon real-time procedures):.Sunday, Sept. 22.10:15 a.m.-- Exploration 71/72 modification of command service starts on NASA+ and also the firm's web site.Monday, Sept. 23.12:45 a.m.-- Hatch closing coverage begins on NASA+ and the company's site.1:05 a.m.-- Hatch closing.4 a.m.-- Undocking protection begins on NASA+ and the agency's site.4:37 a.m.-- Undocking.6:45 a.m.-- Insurance coverage begins for deorbit burn, entry, and touchdown on NASA+ as well as the company's web site.7:05 a.m.-- Deorbit shed.8 a.m.-- Landing.For greater than twenty years, people have lived and also functioned continuously aboard the International Space Station, evolving scientific knowledge, as well as creating study advancements that are certainly not achievable on Earth. The place is actually a crucial testbed for NASA to know as well as get rid of the challenges of long-duration spaceflight and to expand industrial opportunities in low The planet track. As commercial companies concentrate on delivering individual room transportation solutions and also locations as portion of a robust reduced Earth orbit economic situation, NASA is actually focusing much more resources on profound area missions to the Moon as part of Artemis in preparation for potential individual objectives to Mars.Learn more regarding International Spaceport station study and also 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 Space Facility, Houston281-483-5111sandra.p.jones@nasa.gov.
