.NASA rocketeer Don Pettit will release aboard the Roscosmos Soyuz MS-26 space probe, accompanied by astronauts Alexey Ovchinin as well as Ivan Vagner, to the International Space Station where they will certainly participate in the Exploration 71 workers in advancing clinical research study.Pettit, Ovchinin, and also Vagner is going to ascend at 12:23 p.m. EDT Wednesday, Sept. 11 (9:23 p.m. Baikonur time) coming from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan.Insurance coverage will definitely stream on NASA+, the NASA app, and also the organization's web site. Know how to flow NASA information with a variety of systems including social media.After a two-orbit, three-hour trajectory to the station, the space probe is going to immediately dock at 3:33 p.m. at the orbiting lab's Rassvet element. Shortly after, hatches will open in between the spacecraft and also the station.When aboard, the triad will certainly sign up with NASA rocketeers Tracy C. Dyson, Mike Barratt, Matthew Dominick, Jeanette Epps, Butch Wilmore, and also Suni Williams, along with Roscosmos cosmonauts Nikolai Chub, Alexander Grebenkin, and also Oleg Kononenko.NASA's coverage is actually as complies with (perpetuity Eastern and conditional based upon real-time procedures):.11:15 a.m.-- Launch coverage starts on NASA+, the NASA app, YouTube, and the organization's website.12:23 p.m.-- Introduce.2:30 p.m.-- Rendezvous and docking insurance coverage starts on NASA+, the NASA app, YouTube, and also the agency's internet site.3:33 p.m.-- Docking.5:30 p.m.-- Hatch position and also appreciated statements coverage begins on NASA+, the NASA application, YouTube, and the organization's site.5:50 p.m.-- Hatch opening.The triad is going to invest roughly six months aboard the periodic lab as Expedition 71 and also 72 team participants just before coming back to The planet in the spring season of 2025. This will certainly be the fourth spaceflight for Pettit and also Ovchinin, and the second for Vagner.For greater than two decades, folks have resided and operated continually aboard the International Spaceport station, accelerating scientific knowledge, as well as creating research study advancements that are certainly not feasible in the world. The station is a critical testbed for NASA to understand as well as eliminate the obstacles of long-duration spaceflight and to expand office opportunities in reduced The planet track. As business providers focus on supplying human space transport solutions as well as locations as aspect of a sturdy low Earth orbit economic climate, NASA is actually concentrating a lot more resources on serious room objectives to the Moon as portion of Artemis to prepare for potential individual goals to Mars.Find out more regarding International Spaceport station analysis and procedures at:.https://www.nasa.gov/station.- end-.Joshua 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.
