.NASA astronaut Tracy C. Dyson, alonged with Roscosmos cosmonauts Nikolai Chub and Oleg Kononenko, will definitely deviate the International Space Station aboard the Soyuz MS-25 spacecraft, and also go back to The planet.Dyson, Chub, and also Kononenko will undock from the orbiting laboratory's Prichal module at 4:37 a.m. EDT Monday, Sept. 23, going to a parachute-assisted touchdown at 8 a.m. (5 p.m. Kazakhstan opportunity) on the steppe of Kazakhstan, southeast of the community of Dzhezkazgan.NASA's live coverage of return and also relevant activities will definitely flow on NASA+ and also the agency's site.

Kononenko will certainly give up terminal demand to NASA rocketeer Suni Williams for Exploration 72, which begins at that time of undocking.Reaching 184 times in space, Dyson's mission includes dealing with 2,944 orbits of the Earth as well as an experience of 78 million kilometers. The Soyuz MS-25 space probe launched March 23, and also reached the station March 25, along with Dyson, Roscosmos astronaut Oleg Novitskiy, as well as spaceflight participant Harbour Vasilevskaya of Belarus. Novitskiy and Vasilevskaya were actually aboard the station for 12 days just before coming back home along with NASA rocketeer Loral O'Hara on April 6.Kononenko as well as Chub, that launched along with O'Hara to the station on the Soyuz MS-24 spacecraft final September, will come back after 374 days in space and an excursion of 158.6 thousand miles, spanning 5,984 tracks.Dyson spent her 4th spaceflight aboard the station as an Exploration 70 and also 71 trip designer, as well as leaves with Kononenko, finishing his fifth air travel in to space and accruing an all-time document 1,111 days in track, and also Chub, who completed his 1st spaceflight.After coming back to Earth, the three workers participants will fly on a helicopter from the landing web site to the recovery staging urban area of Karaganda, Kazakhstan.

The place is an important testbed for NASA to understand as well as get over the challenges of long-duration spaceflight and also to broaden business possibilities in reduced Earth track. As business providers concentrate on offering human space transit companies as well as destinations as portion of a strong reduced Earth track economy, NASA is concentrating even more information on deep room missions to the Moon as portion of Artemis to prepare for future human missions to Mars.Learn more about International Spaceport 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 Area Center, Houston281-483-5111sandra.p.jones@nasa.gov.
