I do wish that NASA releases would specify what US time zone the event times relate to.
Why not - as usual - in UTC ?

UTC would be ideal, but this is NASA that we are dealing with, so we should expect US time zones to be used.   But sometimes US material quotes ET (for Kennedy), sometimes MT (for Houston) and sometimes PT (JPL or just to confuse the hell out of us!) without specifying which zone is being used.

Houston is CT. So, yeah, using UTC would avoid confusion like that.

Today, on December 13, the head unit of the Soyuz-FG booster rocket with the Soyuz MS-07 spacecraft was transported from the assembly and testing facility (MIK) of spacecraft to the ISS of the carrier rockets for general assembly.

We can conclude that anik has better information than NASA.

Should this surprise us?
