FALCON 9The next SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket from Cape Canaveral is TBA. A Falcon 9 will launch the CRS-23 Cargo Dragon resupply mission to the ISS from pad 39A on August 28 around 3:30am EDT. Other upcoming Falcon 9 launches include Starlink missions TBD. A Falcon 9 will launch the Crew Dragon Inspiration4 private spaceflight-participant mission from pad 39A on September 15, likely in the morning EDT. A Falcon Heavy from pad 39A will launch the USSF-44 mission for the U.S. Space Force on October. And a Falcon 9 from pad 39A will launch four astronauts aboard Crew Dragon Crew-3 to the ISS on October 31 around 1:30am EDT.
ISS Daily Summary Report – 8/05/2021USOS EVA preparation: The crew began preparing for the upcoming 4A ISS Roll-Out Solar Array (IROSA) Prep EVA. The crew gathered tools and performed an inspection of the safety tethers, waist tethers, and D-Ring extenders. The USOS EVA is currently planned for August 25th.
NASA Flight Engineer Mark Vande Hei joined Commander Akihiko Hoshide gathering spacewalking tools and checking spacesuit tethers inside the U.S. Quest airlock. The crew is ramping up for a spacewalk to prepare the orbital lab’s Port-4 truss structure ahead of the installation of the next set of roll out solar arrays.
The Cygnus spacecraft is scheduled to remain at the space station until November when it will depart the station, disposing of several tons of trash during a fiery reentry into Earth’s atmosphere.

According to him, the launch of the Soyuz-2.1a carrier rocket with the Soyuz MS-19 spacecraft from the Baikonur cosmodrome is scheduled for 11.55 Moscow time.

I hope I'm not missing something obvious, but why are there three to four people listed for each of the Russian EVA crews for the Nauka EVA's rather than two? Are those the groups from whom two crewmembers will be chosen to go outside (e.g., two of Artemyev and Matveyev and Maurer and Korsakov), or will it depend on scheduling, or what?
Potentially old information or their will be alternating Crew for the EVA's.

At 6:07 a.m. EDT, NASA astronaut Megan McArthur used the International Space Station’s robotic Canadarm2 to grapple the Northrop Grumman Cygnus spacecraft as ESA (European Space Agency) astronaut Thomas Pesquet monitored Cygnus systems during its approach. The spacecraft were flying about 260 miles above the Atlantic Ocean southwest of Lisbon, Portugal, at the time of capture.Next, ground controllers will command the station’s arm to rotate and install Cygnus, dubbed the S.S. Ellison Onizuka, on the bottom of the station’s Unity module.NASA Television coverage of installation will begin at 8 a.m., and installation of the Cygnus spacecraft to the space station is expected to be completed later this morning. Cygnus will remain at the orbiting laboratory for a three-month stay.
The Northrop Grumman Cygnus spacecraft was bolted into place on the International Space Station’s Earth-facing port of the Unity module at 9:42 a.m. EDT. Cygnus will remain at the space station for about three months until the spacecraft departs in November.
MOSCOW, August 12. / TASS /. The extravehicular activities of Russian cosmonauts Oleg Novitsky and Pyotr Dubrov on September 2 will last six and a half hours. This is stated in a statement by Roscosmos on Thursday in the Telegram channel."The first extravehicular activity lasting 6.5 hours is scheduled for September 2, the opening of the exit hatch of the Search module on this day will tentatively take place at 18:35 Moscow time," the message says.As specified in the state corporation, the second spacewalk with a duration of 5.5 hours for the Russian cosmonauts will take place in six days.
Yes.I have mistake for EVA-51, -52 and -53 - Artemyev can not participate in them, because he will arrive on ISS on March 18, so only Shkaplerov and Dubrov.Also in EVA-54 Maurer will participate along with unknown Russian, probably, Artemyev.
Starliner Returning to Factory to Resolve Valve IssueAugust 13, 2021Today, Boeing informed NASA that the company will destack its CST-100 Starliner from the Atlas V rocket and return the spacecraft to the Commercial Crew and Cargo Processing Facility (C3PF) for deeper-level troubleshooting of four propulsion system valves that remain closed after last Tuesday’s scrubbed launch.Starliner has sat atop the Atlas V rocket in ULA’s Vertical Integration Facility since August 4, where Boeing teams have worked to restore functionality to the affected valves.The relocation of the spacecraft to the C3PF will require Boeing, NASA and United Launch Alliance to agree on a new launch date once the valve issue is resolved.“Mission success in human spaceflight depends on thousands of factors coming together at the right time,” said John Vollmer, vice president and program manager, Boeing’s Commercial Crew Program. “We’ll continue to work the issue from the Starliner factory and have decided to stand down for this launch window to make way for other national priority missions.”Boeing will continue to provide information and updates at www.StarlinerUpdates.com as it becomes available.
