NASA's Space to Ground: Changing Space | Week of April 11, 2025
Updates: NASA Flight Engineer Don Pettit joined station Commander Alexey Ovchinin and Flight Engineer Ivan Vagner of Roscosmos (Russia), and checked their Sokol launch and entry suits for leaks. The trio wore the suits when they launched together aboard the Soyuz MS-26 crew ship and docked to the Rassvet module on Sept. 11, 2024. They will wear the suits again when they return to Earth on April 19, 2025, inside the Soyuz MS-26 completing a seven-month space research mission.
The next cargo mission from SpaceX is due to launch later this month replenishing Expedition 72 with new science experiments and crew supplies. Pettit and Kim worked together preparing for the Dragon spacecraft’s arrival gathering items for stowage aboard Dragon when it returns to Earth about four weeks later. Pettit also assisted Kim, who is in his third day aboard the orbital lab, as he worked out on the advanced resistive exercise device for the first time.
