According to preliminary data from the Main Operational Control Group of the Russian Segment of the ISS (Rocket and Space Corporation Energia named after SP Korolev, part of the State Corporation Roscosmos), the estimated separation time of the spacecraft is 15:21 Moscow time, the autonomous flight will continue 40 minutes beforehand. Re-docking will be carried out in manual mode by the spacecraft commander, Roscosmos cosmonaut Oleg Novitsky with the participation of flight engineers - Roscosmos cosmonaut Pyotr Dubrov and NASA astronaut Mark Vande Hai.This operation will be carried out in order to release the docking station of the Rassvet module, to which the Soyuz MS-19 spacecraft is to dock on October 5, 2021, as well as to check the operation of the docking equipment of the multipurpose laboratory module, which became part of the Russian segment of the station at the end July. For this, first of all, the Soyuz MS-18 manned spacecraft will be docked to Nauka, and then the Progress MS-17 cargo vehicle. It is he who will prepare the International Space Station for the reception of the new "Prichal" nodal module. From July 2, 2021 to the present, the Russian "truck" is docked to the small research module "Poisk"; it is scheduled to undock on October 21. After two days of autonomous flight, as expected, it will automatically dock to the nadir node of the Nauka module.

That means Starliner would have all of January and most of February for an OFT-2 flight. This is the earliest, realistic launch window for the Boeing test flight.

The orbital altitude of the International Space Station was adjusted in preparation for the arrival of the Soyuz MS-19 manned transport vehicle and the return of the Soyuz MS-18 spacecraft. According to preliminary data, after the corrective maneuver, the station's orbit altitude decreased by 1.2 km.On Friday, September 24, 2021, at 17:38 Moscow time, a command was issued and the engines of the Zvezda service module of the ISS Russian segment were turned on. The two correcting motors in the normal mode worked for 47.5 seconds, and the impulse value was 0.65 m / s. At present, specialists of the ballistic and navigation support service of the TsNIIMash Flight Control Center (part of the Roscosmos State Corporation) are studying telemetric information.
MOSCOW, September 25 - RIA Novosti. Russian cosmonauts next year can set a record for the number of spacewalks from the International Space Station (ISS) - nine, follows from the station's flight program, available to RIA Novosti.The current record for the number of Russian exits from the ISS was set in 2013, when there were six of them. In total, from 2001 to 2021, 58 Russian exits were carried out on the ISS, including eight unscheduled.According to the program, in 2022, nine exits are planned under the Russian program: EVA-51 - January 19, EVA-52 - January 27, EVA-53 - February 2, EVA-54 - in April, EVA-55, EVA-56 and EVA -57 - in July, EVA-58 - in August, EVA-59 - in November.
