Madrid. The ship Soyuz MS-25 arrived at 16:03 UTC on March 25 at the International Space Station, with astronaut Tracy C. Dyson, Russian cosmonaut Oleg Novitskiy and Belarusian Marina Vasilevskaya.
This mission departed on Saturday, March 23, from the Baykonur base in Kazakhstan, two days after its initial takeoff was aborted by an automatic procedure with only 22 seconds left in the countdown.
The trio join Expedition 70 crew members including NASA astronauts Loral O’Hara, Matthew Dominick, Mike Barratt and Jeanette Epps, as well as Roscosmos cosmonauts Oleg Kononenko, Nikolai Chub and Alexander Grebenkin , who already live and work aboard the space station.
Dyson will spend six months aboard the station as a flight engineer for Expeditions 70 and 71, and will return to Earth in September with Oleg Kononenko and Nikolai Chub of Roscosmos, who will complete a year-long mission at the laboratory.
Novitskiy and Vasilevskaya will be aboard the station for 12 days, providing O’Hara with the trip home on Saturday, April 6, aboard Soyuz MS-24 for a parachute-assisted landing in the Kazakh steppe. O’Hara will have spent 204 days in space when he returns, NASA reports.
