.NASA rocketeer Don Pettit are going to release aboard the Roscosmos Soyuz MS-26 space probe, accompanied by astronauts Alexey Ovchinin and Ivan Vagner, to the International Space Station where they are going to sign up with the Expedition 71 staff ahead of time scientific investigation.Pettit, Ovchinin, as well as Vagner will take off at 12:23 p.m. EDT Wednesday, Sept. 11 (9:23 p.m. Baikonur time) coming from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan.Coverage is going to stream on NASA+, the NASA app, and also the organization's site. Know how to stream NASA material with a wide array of platforms consisting of social media sites.After a two-orbit, three-hour trail to the place, the space probe will immediately dock at 3:33 p.m. at the orbiting laboratory's Rassvet module. Not long after, hatches will definitely open up between the space capsule and also the place.As soon as aboard, the triad is going to sign up with NASA rocketeers Tracy C.
