This week 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.
