Kononenko will certainly hand over station command to NASA astronaut Suni Williams for Trip 72, which begins during the time of undocking.Reaching 184 days in space, Dyson's goal features dealing with 2,944 tracks of the Earth and also an adventure of 78 million kilometers. The Soyuz MS-25 space capsule introduced March 23, and also got to the station March 25, with Dyson, Roscosmos astronaut Oleg Novitskiy, as well as spaceflight attendee Marina Vasilevskaya of Belarus. Novitskiy and Vasilevskaya were aboard the terminal for 12 times just before returning home with NASA rocketeer Loral O'Hara on April 6.Kononenko and Chub, who released with O'Hara to the terminal on the Soyuz MS-24 space probe final September, are going to come back after 374 days in space and also an excursion of 158.6 thousand kilometers, spanning 5,984 tracks.Dyson devoted her 4th spaceflight aboard the terminal as a Trip 70 and 71 air travel developer, and departs along with Kononenko, finishing his 5th tour right into room and also building up an enduring report 1,111 times in track, as well as Chub, that completed his 1st spaceflight.After going back to The planet, the three staff members are going to soar on a helicopter from the touchdown site to the recovery hosting area of Karaganda, Kazakhstan.

The station is actually a vital testbed for NASA to recognize as well as conquer the obstacles of long-duration spaceflight and also to broaden commercial possibilities in low The planet track. As industrial business concentrate on providing individual area transit services and also locations as portion of a robust reduced The planet orbit economic climate, NASA is actually centering even more resources on serious area goals to the Moon as aspect of Artemis in preparation for potential individual goals to Mars.Discover more regarding International Space Station research study as well as operations at:.https://www.nasa.gov/station.- end-.Josh Finch/ Claire O'SheaHeadquarters, Washington202-358-1100joshua.a.finch@nasa.gov/ claire.a.o'shea@nasa.gov.Sandra JonesJohnson Area Facility, Houston281-483-5111sandra.p.jones@nasa.gov.
