Quote from: Vonbraun on 02/19/2021 08:43 amWouldn't fairing striking the manned module be critical enough to warrant some serious downtime to study and get verifications (like an unmanned cargo flight)? Seems like some fixes were concocted the first time around, but how you go from there to test it on a next manned flight?These are already unmanned flights (Progress =! Soyuz)The Soyuz fairing is a completely different design.The fairing damage in these occasions is most probably NOT due to the fairing itself impacting the vehicle, but rather either some overpressure or fragment damaging it. Notice damage appears to be caused *forward* from the direction of motion, while the fairing falls rearward.

The next correction of the International Space Station (ISS) orbit in preparation for the launch of the Soyuz MS-19 manned transport vehicle will take place on May 20. This is stated in the message of Roskosmos, circulated on Wednesday."In order to form the initial ballistic conditions before the launch of the Soyuz MS-19 manned transport spacecraft and the Soyuz MS-18 landing on May 20, 2021, the next correction of the orbital altitude of the International Space Station is planned," the state corporation noted. Roskosmos, the maneuver will be carried out using the Progress MS-16 cargo vehicle. According to the calculated data of the ballistic and navigation support service of the TsNIIMash Flight Control Center, its engines will be turned on at 20:01 Moscow time and will work for 180 seconds, the impulse will be 0.2 m / s. "After this maneuver, the average altitude of the ISS will increase by 350 m and will amount to 419.72 km," the press service added.

07/08/2021 The launch of the "Science" module is scheduled for July 21In accordance with the decision of the State Commission, the launch of the Proton-M launch vehicle with a new laboratory module Nauka from launch pad No. 200 of the Baikonur cosmodrome is scheduled for July 21, 2021 at 17:58:21 Moscow time. Reserve dates - July 22 and 23. Its flight to the International Space Station will last 8 days, and docking to the nadir port of the Zvezda service module is scheduled for July 29, tentatively at 16:26 Moscow time.In this regard, undocking of the Progress MS-16 transport cargo vehicle together with the Pirs docking module, whose place on the ISS will be taken by the Nauka module, is scheduled for July 23 (subject to the Nauka launch on July 21). Entry into the dense layers of the atmosphere and further flooding of the non-combustible structural elements of the ship and the module will occur in the non-navigable area of the Pacific Ocean 4 hours after undocking.<snip>https://www.roscosmos.ru/31746/
July 13, 2021 MEDIA ADVISORY M21-081NASA TV to Air Launch of Space Station Module, Departure of AnotherNASA will provide live coverage of a new Russian science module’s launch and automated docking to the International Space Station, and the undocking of another module that has been part of the orbital outpost for the past 20 years. Live coverage of all events will be available on NASA Television, the NASA app, and the agency’s website.<snip>...On Friday, July 23, the uncrewed ISS Progress 77 spacecraft will undock from the Russian segment of the station while attached to the Pirs docking compartment. With Pirs attached, Progress 77 is scheduled to undock at 9:17 a.m. [EDT]. Live coverage of undocking will begin at 8:45 a.m. [EDT]. A few hours later, Progress’ engines will fire in a deorbit maneuver to send the cargo craft and Pirs into a destructive reentry in the Earth’s atmosphere over the Pacific Ocean. Deorbit and reentry will not be covered on NASA TV.<snip>
