.NASA astronaut Don Pettit are going to launch aboard the Roscosmos Soyuz MS-26 spacecraft, alonged with cosmonauts Alexey Ovchinin and Ivan Vagner, to the International Spaceport Station where they will certainly join the Trip 71 team in advancing clinical research study.Pettit, Ovchinin, as well as Vagner will certainly take off at 12:23 p.m. EDT Wednesday, Sept. 11 (9:23 p.m. Baikonur opportunity) from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan.Coverage is going to stream on NASA+, the NASA application, as well as the firm's internet site. Learn just how to stream NASA content through a wide array of platforms including social networking sites.After a two-orbit, three-hour velocity to the station, the space capsule will immediately dock at 3:33 p.m. at the orbiting research laboratory's Rassvet component. Soon after, hatches are going to open up in between the space probe as well as the place.As soon as aboard, the triad will certainly join NASA rocketeers Tracy C.

This will certainly be actually the 4th spaceflight for Pettit as well as Ovchinin, and the second for Vagner.For more than twenty years, folks have actually resided as well as worked continuously aboard the International Spaceport station, accelerating accurate knowledge, and also making research study breakthroughs that are actually not achievable on Earth. The station is actually an essential testbed for NASA to recognize and overcome the difficulties of long-duration spaceflight as well as to broaden business options in reduced The planet orbit. As industrial companies concentrate on delivering human area transportation companies and also destinations as component of a durable low Earth orbit economic situation, NASA is centering even more resources on profound space missions to the Moon as component of Artemis in preparation for future individual purposes to Mars.Find out more about International Spaceport station study as well as 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 Room Center, Houston281-483-5111sandra.p.jones@nasa.gov.
