NASA's Space to Ground: Tracking a Trend | Week of Aug.18, 2023
NASA's Space to Ground: Tracking a Trend | Week of Aug.18, 2023
NASA's Space to Ground is your weekly update on what's happening aboard the International Space Station (ISS). The ISS Progress 83 cargo craft is due to end it six-month stay at the orbital lab on Sunday, Aug. 20, 2023, when it undocks from the Zvezda service module’s aft port at 7:48 p.m. EDT. It will be replaced on Thursday Aug. 24, when the ISS Progress 85 cargo craft docks to the same port on Zvezda two days after its launch from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan.
Just four hours after the Progress 85 arrives, four crew members aboard the SpaceX Dragon crew spacecraft will launch from the Kennedy Space Center to the space station. The SpaceX Crew-7 mission will dock to the Harmony module’s space-facing port just one day after its liftoff and the four crew mates will enter the orbiting lab to begin a six-month space research mission.
