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

.NASA astronaut Tracy C. Dyson, accompanied by Roscosmos astronauts Nikolai Chub and also Oleg Kononenko, will certainly depart from the International Space Station aboard the Soyuz MS-25 space probe, as well as come back to Planet.Dyson, Chub, and also Kononenko will undock from the orbiting lab's Prichal element 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 town of Dzhezkazgan.NASA's online coverage of return as well as related activities will definitely flow on NASA+ as well as the company's internet site.

Kononenko will definitely surrender station order to NASA astronaut Suni Williams for Expedition 72, which begins at the time of undocking.Stretching over 184 times precede, Dyson's objective consists of covering 2,944 orbits of the Earth and also an adventure of 78 million miles. The Soyuz MS-25 spacecraft launched March 23, as well as came to the terminal March 25, with Dyson, Roscosmos cosmonaut Oleg Novitskiy, and also spaceflight attendee Harbour Vasilevskaya of Belarus. Novitskiy as well as Vasilevskaya were aboard the terminal for 12 days just before returning 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 capsule final September, will definitely return after 374 times precede and also a travel of 158.6 million kilometers, extending 5,984 tracks.Dyson spent her 4th spaceflight aboard the station as an Exploration 70 and also 71 tour developer, and also departs with Kononenko, completing his fifth trip into room and building up an all-time record 1,111 times in orbit, and Chub, who finished his 1st spaceflight.After going back to Earth, the 3 workers members are going to soar on a helicopter coming from the landing web site to the recovery staging city of Karaganda, Kazakhstan.

The place is actually an important testbed for NASA to know and also beat the obstacles of long-duration spaceflight and to extend commercial chances in reduced Earth track. As business business focus on giving human area transport services as well as places as portion of a durable low Planet track economic condition, NASA is concentrating extra sources on deep space goals to the Moon as part of Artemis in preparation for potential individual objectives to Mars.Find out more about International Space Station study and also 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 Center, Houston281-483-5111sandra.p.jones@nasa.gov.
