Three ultra-small satellites of 1 U size (10 cm × 10 cm × 10 cm), designed and manufactured by Kyushu Institute of Technology as the third bulletin of the BIRDS project (* 1) on February 18, 2019, the next Saturday, 19 Singapore Space Technology One small ultra-small satellite of 3 U size (10 cm × 10 cm × 30 cm) designed and manufactured by the National University of Singapore based on the contract with the association (* 2) was transferred to the Tsukuba Space Center (TKSC) of the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) It was handed over to JAXA and the installation work was carried out to release from the Japanese space experiment building "Kibo" in the International Space Station (ISS) around May to June.The third bulletin of the BIRDS project this time is from students of Kyushu Institute of Technology and students from Sri Lanka and Nepal who are studying at the university. Among them, for Sri Lanka and Nepal, it is the country's first artificial satellite.The installation work is proceeding smoothly and will be launched to the ISS around April in the future by the Signin Supply Vessel Operation No. 11 (NG - 11) from the state of the state of Purga in the United States.The installation work is proceeding smoothly and will be launched to the ISS around April in the future by the Signin Supply Vessel Operation No. 11 (NG - 11) from the state of the state of Purga in the United States.

According to that document, Soyuz MS-15 was expected to remain in orbit for 187 days, implying the return to Earth on March 29, 2020.

At 2:32 a.m. EST, Crew Dragon undocked from the International Space Station to begin the final phase of its uncrewed Demo-1 flight test. ...Following separation, Crew Dragon’s thrusters will initiate the spacecraft’s deorbit burn at about 7:53 a.m. The 15-minute, 25-second burn will place the Crew Dragon on its final re-entry path into Earth’s atmosphere. The spacecraft is expected to splashdown in the Atlantic Ocean at about 8:45 a.m., its speed slowed by an enhanced parachute system in which drogue parachutes will deploy about four minutes before landing to unfurl four main chutes less than a minute later.
September 25 - Soyuz MS-15 (61S) launch and docking (to Poisk) [Exp 61/62: Skripochka, Cassidy (TBD), Al Mansouri]...October 3 - Soyuz MS-12 (58S) undocking (from Rassvet) and landing [Exp 59/60: Ovchinin, Koch (TBD), Al Mansouri]
Is there a source that confirms the selection of Al Mansouri for MS-12?
@Astro_Hazzaa and @Astro_Alneyadi: One of us will be on the Soyuz mission to the ISS, his name will be announced in May.

The CubeSat was handed over this time based on the contract to deploy small satellites from "Kibo". It was done between JAXA and 'Singapore Space and Technology Association' (SSTA). The SpooQy-1 and BIRDS-3 were handed over to JAXA on the same day and are scheduled to be launched aboard the Cygnus 11 Spacecraft from Virginia, USA.

https://www.americaspace.com/2019/03/08/on-international-womens-day-nasa-looks-forward-to-first-all-female-eva-in-late-march-koch-tapped-for-longer-iss-stay/QuoteMuch speculation has abounded in recent months about the return schedule for various U.S. and Russian crew members, later this year, particularly in light of the fact that the first United Arab Emirates (UAE) spacefarer is expected to fly a short-duration mission of around ten days aboard Soyuz MS-15 in September. To free up a seat aboard Soyuz MS-12 for his return to Earth, it has been suggested that a Soyuz MS-12 crew member may enjoy a longer than nominal stay aboard the ISS. In comments provided to AmericaSpace, NASA’s Rob Navias explained definitively that “Hague returns to Earth in October”.Launching alongside the UAE spaceflight participant are expected to be Russian cosmonaut Oleg Skripochka—who will rejoin his one-time crewmate Christina Koch—and former NASA Chief Astronaut Chris Cassidy, who will remain aboard the space station until late spring 2020. According to Mr. Navias, “we expect Koch to remain on-board ISS” beyond October, with Ovchinin and Hague joining the UAE astronaut aboard Soyuz MS-12 for the return to Earth on 3 October. Asked if Koch would return on Soyuz MS-13 in December, or remain aboard even longer, returning on Soyuz MS-15 in April 2020, Mr. Navias advised that “the Flight Program is under review”. In either case, a landing in December 2019 or later will provide Koch with a minimum-duration mission of nine months aboard the ISS, the second-longest duration ever achieved by a female spacefarer on a single mission, after Peggy Whitson.

"The American side brought to the Russian information about the launch date of the Starliner unmanned ship - April 29. One day after the launch, the ship must dock with the ISS. It is planned that on May 7 Starliner will leave the station and return to Earth," the agency’s source said.However, according to him, the launch of Starliner may be postponed to May.
