NASA Television Set to Cover March Soyuz Landing Operations


Three crew members aboard the International Space Station are scheduled to end almost six months on the orbiting laboratory on March 10, and NASA Television will provide complete coverage.

Expedition 38 Commander Oleg Kotov and Flight Engineer Sergey Ryazanskiy of the Russian Federal Space Agency (Roscosmos) and Flight Engineer Michael Hopkins of NASA will undock their Soyuz spacecraft from the station on March 10 at 8:02 p.m. EDT, heading for a landing in Kazakhstan, southeast of Dzhezkazgan at 11:24 p.m. (9:24 a.m. on March 11 local time in Dzhezkazgan). The crew's return will wrap up 166 days in space since launching from Kazakhstan on Sept. 26, 2013.

At the time of undocking, Expedition 39 will begin formally aboard the station under the command of Koichi Wakata of the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency, the first Japanese commander of the complex. Wakata and his crewmates, NASA Flight Engineer Rick Mastracchio and Mikhail Tyurin of Roscosmos, will operate the station as a three-person crew for two weeks until the arrival of three new crew members, U.S. astronaut Steve Swanson and Russian cosmonauts Alexander Skvortsov and Oleg Artemyev, who are scheduled to launch from Kazakhstan March 25, U.S. time.

NASA Television coverage will begin on Sunday morning, March 9, with the change of command ceremony in which Kotov will turn over command of station operations to Wakata, and it will continue March 10 and 11 with Expedition 38 landing and post-landing activities. All following times are in EDT.

Sunday, March 9:
4:55 a.m. – Expedition 38/39 change of command ceremony

Monday, March 10:
4:30 p.m. – Farewells and hatch closure (hatch closure scheduled at 4:45 p.m.)
7:45 p.m. – Undocking (undocking scheduled at 8:02 p.m.)
10:15 p.m. – Landing (landing scheduled at 11:24 p.m.)

Tuesday, March 11:

The landing will be possibly delayed due to poor weather at the launch site.

A Russian MI-8 helicopter is seen at the Karaganda Airport shortly after poor weather forced the fleet of 12 helicopters to turn around from their flight to Zhezkazgan, Kazakhstan where they were to have pre-staged for the landing of the Soyuz TMA-10M spacecraft March 10, 2014, Karaganda, Kazakhstan. Russian space officials and members of the search and recovery forces are currently meeting to discuss the current weather. Expedition 38 Commander Oleg Kotov of the Russian Federal Space Agency, Roscosmos, and Flight Engineers Mike Hopkins of NASA and Sergey Ryazanskiy of Roscosmos, are scheduled to land early Tuesday morning near the town of Zhezkazgan.

Interesting!

Is the delay potentially orbits (later in the morning) or days?

Copy that! Thanks.

Let's keep a close eye on the decision. When is that expected?

The Student Spaceflight Experiments Program (SSEP) is a program of the National Center for Earth and Space Science Education (NCESSE) in the U.S., and the Arthur C. Clarke Institute for Space Education internationally. It is enabled through a strategic partnership with NanoRacks LLC, working with NASA under a Space Act Agreement as part of the utilization of the International Space Station as a National Laboratory. SSEP is the first pre-college STEM education program that is both a U.S. national initiative and implemented as an on-orbit commercial space venture.

The Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum, Center for the Advancement of Science in Space (CASIS), and Subaru of America, Inc., are National Partners on the Student Spaceflight Experiments Program.

CAPCOM just confirmed to the crew un-dock will occur on schedule per the timeline.
Best quote heard during an inspection, "I was unaware that I was the only one who was aware."

NASA says on Facebook that the hatches closed an hour ago - is that true or just a scheduled post?

It happened as NASA described, as shown in a downlinked replay on NASA TV (as John44 has posted).

Interesting! So that sounds like the Russians delayed, but then decided to reserve the decision later. Cool....less than three hours to undocking.
