.NASA rocketeer Don Pettit will certainly introduce aboard the Roscosmos Soyuz MS-26 space capsule, accompanied by astronauts Alexey Ovchinin and Ivan Vagner, to the International Spaceport Station where they will definitely participate in the Trip 71 crew beforehand medical investigation.Pettit, Ovchinin, and also Vagner will lift off at 12:23 p.m. EDT Wednesday, Sept. 11 (9:23 p.m. Baikonur time) from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan.Protection will certainly stream on NASA+, the NASA application, and also the agency's site. Know exactly how to flow NASA material via a wide array of systems consisting of social networking sites.After a two-orbit, three-hour trail to the place, the spacecraft will immediately dock at 3:33 p.m. at the orbiting laboratory's Rassvet component. Soon after, hatches will certainly open in between the space probe and also the station.When aboard, the triad will join NASA rocketeers Tracy C. Dyson, Mike Barratt, Matthew Dominick, Jeanette Epps, Butch Wilmore, and Suni Williams, as well as Roscosmos cosmonauts Nikolai Chub, Alexander Grebenkin, and Oleg Kononenko.NASA's insurance coverage is as follows (all times Eastern and also conditional based upon real-time functions):.11:15 a.m.-- Introduce coverage starts on NASA+, the NASA app, YouTube, and the firm's website.12:23 p.m.-- Introduce.2:30 p.m.-- Gathering point as well as docking protection begins on NASA+, the NASA application, YouTube, and the company's internet site.3:33 p.m.-- Docking.5:30 p.m.-- Hatch position and invited remarks coverage starts on NASA+, the NASA app, YouTube, as well as the firm's site.5:50 p.m.-- Hatch position.The triad will invest around six months aboard the orbital research laboratory as Trip 71 as well as 72 workers participants just before going back to The planet in the springtime of 2025. This will definitely be the fourth spaceflight for Pettit and Ovchinin, and the second for Vagner.For greater than two decades, individuals have lived as well as functioned consistently aboard the International Spaceport station, evolving scientific knowledge, as well as creating research breakthroughs that are certainly not achievable on Earth. The station is an important testbed for NASA to know as well as beat the obstacles of long-duration spaceflight and to increase business chances in reduced Earth track. As industrial firms pay attention to delivering human room transport services and also destinations as aspect of a durable reduced Earth orbit economy, NASA is concentrating much more sources on profound space goals to the Moon as part of Artemis to prepare for future individual missions to Mars.Discover more concerning International Space Station investigation and also procedures at:.https://www.nasa.gov/station.- side-.Joshua Finch/ Claire O'SheaHeadquarters, Washington202-358-1100joshua.a.finch@nasa.gov/ claire.a.o'shea@nasa.gov.Sandra JonesJohnson Space Center, Houston281-483-5111sandra.p.jones@nasa.gov.
