.NASA rocketeer Don Pettit will introduce aboard the Roscosmos Soyuz MS-26 space probe, accompanied by astronauts Alexey Ovchinin and also Ivan Vagner, to the International Space Station where they will definitely join the Exploration 71 crew earlier medical research study.Pettit, Ovchinin, and also Vagner will lift off at 12:23 p.m. EDT Wednesday, Sept. 11 (9:23 p.m. Baikonur opportunity) coming from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan.Coverage will certainly flow on NASA+, the NASA application, as well as the firm's web site. Know exactly how to flow NASA web content with a range of systems including social networks.After a two-orbit, three-hour velocity to the place, the space probe will instantly dock at 3:33 p.m. at the orbiting laboratory's Rassvet component. Shortly after, hatches are going to open up between the space capsule and the station.As soon as aboard, the triad will certainly sign up with NASA astronauts Tracy C.

This are going to be the 4th spaceflight for Pettit and also Ovchinin, and the second for Vagner.For much more than two decades, individuals have resided and functioned regularly aboard the International Space Station, accelerating accurate knowledge, as well as creating research discoveries that are certainly not feasible in the world. The station is an essential testbed for NASA to understand and get over the problems of long-duration spaceflight as well as to grow industrial possibilities in reduced The planet track. As office providers focus on offering individual room transport services and destinations as component of a sturdy low Planet track economic situation, NASA is focusing more information on profound area goals to the Moon as portion of Artemis in preparation for potential human objectives to Mars.Find out more regarding International Space Station research study as well as 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 Room Center, Houston281-483-5111sandra.p.jones@nasa.gov.
