The “Soyuz Ms-25” manned spacecraft with the international crew will go to the ISS

In the summer the “Soyuz Ms-25” manned spacecraft with the international crew – Roscosmos astronaut Oleg Novitsky, a participant of a space flight from the Republic of Belarus Marina Vasilevskaya and NASA astronaut Tracy Dyson – will go to the ISS. Oleg and Marina will return home in 12 days by “Soyuz MS-25” with Loral O’Hara who has been working at the station for 4 months.

We’re preparing for these events – today there was the correction of the ISS orbit. At 19:30 Moscow time the “Progress MS-25”engines switched on, worked for 1053,7 seconds and gave an impulse of 1,65 m/s. After the maneuver the average altitude of the ISS orbit increased by 2.9 km and amounted to 418.53 km above the Earth's surface.
