.NASA astronaut Don Pettit are going to introduce aboard the Roscosmos Soyuz MS-26 space capsule, accompanied by astronauts Alexey Ovchinin as well as Ivan Vagner, to the International Space Station where they are going to participate in the Trip 71 team ahead of time clinical analysis.Pettit, Ovchinin, and also Vagner will definitely lift off at 12:23 p.m. EDT Wednesday, Sept. 11 (9:23 p.m. Baikonur opportunity) from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan.Insurance coverage will stream on NASA+, the NASA app, and the agency's web site. Find out just how to flow NASA information through a wide array of systems including social networking sites.After a two-orbit, three-hour path to the station, the space capsule will immediately dock at 3:33 p.m. at the orbiting research laboratory's Rassvet component. Quickly after, hatches are going to open in between the space capsule as well as the station.Once aboard, the triad will join NASA astronauts Tracy C. Dyson, Mike Barratt, Matthew Dominick, Jeanette Epps, Butch Wilmore, and Suni Williams, in addition to Roscosmos astronauts Nikolai Chub, Alexander Grebenkin, and Oleg Kononenko.NASA's insurance coverage is as adheres to (perpetuity Eastern and also conditional based upon real-time operations):.11:15 a.m.-- Launch coverage starts on NASA+, the NASA application, YouTube, and the firm's website.12:23 p.m.-- Introduce.2:30 p.m.-- Gathering point as well as docking coverage begins on NASA+, the NASA application, YouTube, as well as the organization's internet site.3:33 p.m.-- Docking.5:30 p.m.-- Hatch position and appreciated opinions coverage begins on NASA+, the NASA application, YouTube, and the company's web site.5:50 p.m.-- Hatch opening.The trio is going to invest roughly 6 months aboard the orbital research laboratory as Expedition 71 and 72 workers participants just before coming back to Planet in the spring season of 2025. This will be the 4th spaceflight for Pettit as well as Ovchinin, and the second for Vagner.For greater than twenty years, people have resided as well as operated consistently aboard the International Spaceport station, advancing scientific knowledge, and making study advancements that are certainly not feasible in the world. The place is actually a crucial testbed for NASA to recognize as well as conquer the obstacles of long-duration spaceflight and to broaden office chances in reduced Planet orbit. As business firms focus on providing individual area transport companies and destinations as component of a durable low Planet track economy, NASA is actually centering more sources on deep space purposes to the Moon as component of Artemis in preparation for potential individual missions to Mars.Learn more regarding International Space Station investigation and functions 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 Area Center, Houston281-483-5111sandra.p.jones@nasa.gov.
