June 27, Sunday10:30 a.m. – Coverage of the release of the Northrop Grumman “SS Katherine Johnson” Cygnus cargo craft from the International Space Station (release scheduled at 10:50 a.m. EDT) (All Channels)
Earlier, "Roscosmos" told the agency that the output of the Russians Oleg Novitsky and Peter Dubrov in open space from the ISS is scheduled for June 2. The astronauts will have to prepare the module "Pierce" for undocking from the station before the arrival of the new module "Science", as well as replace a removable panel of the flow regulator in the thermal management system module "Dawn".As told RIA Novosti the representative of NASA, two trips on the U.S. program are expected on June 16 and 20, they will perform a Frenchman Thomas Pesquet and American Shane Kimbrough. He noted that the astronauts will have to install two new solar panels IROSA outside the U.S. segment of the ISS, which in early June will be delivered to the station by cargo ship Cargo Dragon.

On June 2, 2021, the crew of the Russian segment of the International Space Station, Roscosmos cosmonauts Oleg Novitsky and Pyotr Dubrov will make a spacewalk to perform work on the outer surface of the station.The crew will leave the hatch of the Poisk small research module at 08:40 Moscow time. The planned duration of the cosmonauts' work in open space is about 6 hours 50 minutes.The main tasks of EVA-48: Replacement of the removable panel of the fluid flow regulator; installation of the necessary equipment for scientific space experiments "Test" and "Endurance" on the outer surface of the "Search" module; connection of the Kurs system antennas on the transition compartment to ensure the docking of the new Russian Nauka module.
According to preliminary data, the maneuver will be carried out using the propulsion system of the Progress MS-16 cargo vehicle. It will be on at 20:01 Moscow time. The engines will run for 180.7 seconds. The impulse value will be 0.2 m / s. "After carrying out the corrective maneuver, the average altitude of the ISS orbit will increase by 0.35 km," the state corporation said.The average altitude of the ISS orbit after correction will be 419.69 km.

ESA astronaut Samantha Cristoforetti is expected to serve as International Space Station commander for Expedition 68a, following an in-principle agreement by international partners on 19 May, pending consolidation of the Space Station’s operational plans and launch dates. As a member of Crew-4, Samantha will be launched with NASA astronauts Kjell Lindgren and Bob Hines to the Station from Florida, USA, on a SpaceX Crew Dragon spacecraft in 2022. This will be Samantha’s second space mission and the experience she brings will stand her in good stead as Europe’s first female in command of a Station expedition.“Returning to the International Space Station to represent Europe is an honour in itself,” says Samantha. “I am humbled by my appointment to the position of commander and look forward to drawing on the experience I’ve gained in space and on Earth to lead a very capable team in orbit.”
Moscow. May 28. INTERFAX - Glavkosmos plans to offer flight seats on the Soyuz spacecraft for space tourists by the end of 2023, said the head of the company Dmitry Loskutov. "Now we are carrying out this work (preparation for a commercial launch - IF) in two directions at the same time - we are negotiating with representatives of potential customers, as well as with our industry, we are creating in advance the backlog of material and technical part in order to be able to offer flight seats already where at the end of 2023 ", - said Loskutov on the air of the YouTube channel" Roscosmos TV "...
ISS-65 long-term expedition flight engineer, Roscosmos cosmonaut Oleg Novitskiy and ISS-65 flight engineer, Roscosmos cosmonaut Pyotr Dubrov began the 48th planned spacewalk under the Russian program (EVA-48). The Poisk docking compartment exit hatch was opened at 05:53 UTC. This is the first spacewalking experience for both cosmonauts. They will have to carry out a number of operations to install the equipment on the outer surface of the Russian segment of the International Space Station. The Russian spacewalk is performed in Orlan-MKS spacesuits No. 4 and 5. Oleg Novitskiy wears the commander spacesuit with red stripes (Orlan-MKS spacesuit No. 5), and Pyotr Dubrov wears the Orlan-MKS No. 4 spacesuit with blue stripes.The cosmonauts will have to work outside the station for about 7 hours. They must prepare the docking compartment prior to the Nauka module arrival and replace the removable panel of the functional-cargo unit fluid flow regulator. The spacewalk is controlled from the TsNIIMash Mission Control Center (part of Roscosmos) by the specialists of the Chief Operating Control Group, responsible for the extravehicular activities of the crew.
WASHINGTON — Axiom Space has signed a contract with SpaceX for three additional Crew Dragon missions, enough to meet its projections for private astronaut missions to the International Space Station through at least 2023.Axiom, which already has a deal with SpaceX for the Ax-1 mission to the ISS launching in early 2022, said June 2 the new contract covers the projected Ax-2, 3 and 4 missions to the station. All will use Crew Dragon spacecraft launched on Falcon 9 rockets....Axiom announced May 25 that another former NASA astronaut, Peggy Whitson, will command the Ax-2 mission. She will fly with John Shoffner, a private astronaut, and two additional customers to be announced. Axiom did not disclose at the time what vehicle the two would use for that mission, but Whitson and Shoffner had already been assigned as backups for the Ax-1 mission....The new contract would allow Axiom to fly missions to the station through 2023, if it is able to secure agreements for the other private astronaut mission opportunities in 2022 and 2023. “We’re prepared to fly on a cadence of about twice a year, but like everyone, we have to compete for the opportunity,” Suffredini said at the briefing.SpaceX, in a separate statement, sounded optimistic about Axion’s chances of securing those additional ISS private astronaut missions, noting that the agreement covers “three additional private crew missions aboard Dragon to and from the Station through 2023.”
