As a result of the flight control group operational meeting at the TsNIIMash Mission Control Center (part of Roscosmos), the specialists decided to adjust the plans to undock and deorbit the Pirs module.The decision came based on the telemetry data and the need to build optimal orbit conditions. The operations are currently scheduled for Monday 26 July, 2021.On Saturday, Roscosmos cosmonauts Oleg Novitskiy and Pyotr Dubrov closed the transfer hatches between the Pirs module and the Russian segment of the International Space Station, and checked them for pressure integrity. The physical separation is preliminary scheduled at 10:56 UTC on July 26, the non-combustible structural elements of the module and the ship are to drop in the Pacific Ocean at 14:51 UTC of the same day.The Pirs docking module is now docked to the nadir port of the Zvezda Service Module of the Russian segment of the International Space Station. It is planned that after undocking it will be replaced by the Nauka Multipurpose Laboratory Module, which was launched from the Baikonur Cosmodrome on Wednesday and is currently in autonomous flight.
