NASA coverage now is underway for the launch of a crewed Soyuz spacecraft to the International Space Station with NASA astronaut Tracy C. Dyson, Roscosmos cosmonaut Oleg Novitskiy, and spaceflight participant Marina Vasilevskaya of Belarus.<\/p>\n

The Soyuz MS-25 spacecraft will launch from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan at 8:36 a.m. EDT (5:36 p.m. Baikonur time). Coverage of launch will air live on NASA+, NASA Television, the NASA app<\/a>, YouTube<\/a>, and the agency\u2019s website<\/a>. Learn how to stream NASA TV<\/a> through a variety of platforms including social media.<\/p>\n

The Soyuz will dock to the space station\u2019s Prichal module at 11:09 a.m. Monday, March 25. Shortly after, hatches between the Soyuz and the station will open and the crew members will greet each other.<\/p>\n

Docking coverage will begin at 10:15 a.m. March 25 on NASA+, NASA Television, the NASA app, YouTube, and the agency\u2019s website.<\/p>\n

Once aboard station, the trio will join Expedition 70 crew members including NASA astronauts Loral O\u2019Hara, Matthew Dominick, Mike Barratt, and Jeanette Epps, as well as Roscosmos cosmonauts Oleg Kononenko, Nikolai Chub, and Alexander Grebenkin.<\/p>\n

Dyson will spend six months aboard the station as an Expedition 70 and 71 flight engineer, returning to Earth in September with Oleg Kononenko and Nikolai Chub of Roscosmos, who will complete a year-long mission on the laboratory.<\/p>\n

Novitskiy and Vasilevskaya will be aboard the station for 12 days, providing the ride home for O\u2019Hara on Saturday, April 6, aboard Soyuz MS-24 for a parachute-assisted landing on steppe of Kazakhstan. O\u2019Hara will have spent 204 days in space when she returns.<\/p>\n
