[Regnum] The orbit of the International Space Station was adjusted by 1.36 kilometers in preparation for the autumn crew changeover. Roscosmos reported this on Sunday, June 30.
“Today, the ISS orbit was adjusted to ensure the launch of the manned Soyuz MS-26 spacecraft and the landing of the Soyuz MS-25, planned for September 2024,” says a message published on the official website of the Russian state corporation.
It is noted that the engines of the Progress MS-25 cargo ship started at 01:39 Moscow time and worked for 536 seconds, producing an impulse of 0.78 m/s. Thus, the average altitude of the station's orbit increased by 1.36 kilometers.
Roscosmos recalled that the launch of the Soyuz MS-26 manned spacecraft from the Baikonur Cosmodrome, according to the plan, will take place on September 11. The main crew of the expedition to the ISS includes Russian cosmonauts Alexei Ovchinin and Ivan Wagner and NASA astronaut Donald Pettit.
As reported by the Regnum news agency, it was previously reported that the Progress MS-29 cargo ship, delivered to the Baikonur Cosmodrome on June 17, will depart for the International Space Station in the fall of 2024. The cargo ship was installed in the work area for the acceptance procedure and subsequent conservation, specialists checked the operation of the mechanisms for deploying solar panels.
