Another planned correction of the height of the orbit of the International Space Station is scheduled for October 12, 2021.
According to preliminary data of the service of ballistic-navigation support of the Center for Flight Management TsNIIMASH (part of the Roskosmos State Corporation), at 10:28 Moscow time will be issued a team on the inclusion of the engines of the service module “Star” of the Russian Segment of the ISS, which will work 34 , 7 seconds. The impulse will be 0.48 m / s. After the corrective maneuver, the height of the orbital station will increase by 0.8 km.
The parameters of the ISS orbit after the correction maneuver must be:
- Couch period: 92.92 min;
- orbit: 51.66 degrees;
- Minimum orbit height: 419.48 km;
- Maximum Orbit Height: 440.36 km.
Now, on board the International Space Station, the crew in the astronauts of Roscosmos Oleg Novitsky and Peter Dubrova, NASA Astronaut Mark Vanda Haya, arrived on April 9, 2021 on the Soyuz MS-18 ship, as well as Crew Dragon crew members of the NASA astronauts Shane Cybrou and Megan Macarutur, Astronaut of the European Space Agency Tom Sand and Astronaut of the Japanese Agency Agency Aerosmatic Research Aquico Hoshide.
