[Regnum] On September 11, the Soyuz MS-26 manned spacecraft automatically docked with the Rassvet module of the Russian segment of the International Space Station (ISS). This was announced by the Roscosmos state corporation.

The crew included Russian cosmonauts Alexei Ovchinin and Ivan Vagner, as well as NASA astronaut Donald Pettit.

The launch vehicle with the Soyuz MS-26 manned spacecraft was launched to the ISS from the Baikonur Cosmodrome. The docking of the spacecraft to the international station was recorded at 22:32 Moscow time. The space mission will last 202 days. During this time, the cosmonauts will have to conduct 42 scientific experiments in the fields of medicine and biology.

As reported by Regnum News Agency, according to Roscosmos, in December 2024, Ovchinin and Wagner will go into outer space. They will install a spectrometer on the surface of the station, which will allow the most accurate measurement of the cosmic radiation background.

On September 7, the Boeing Starliner spacecraft undocked from the ISS and returned to Earth without a crew on board. It landed at the White Sands Test Site in New Mexico. Spent materials and cargo from the ISS were returned to Earth.
