On Wednesday, July 28, 2021, specialists of the flight control group of the multipurpose laboratory module "Nauka" at the Mission Control Center of TsNIIMash (part of the State Corporation Roscosmos) performed the final corrective maneuver of the module launched from the Baikonur cosmodrome a week ago in the normal mode.
The engines are switched on at 16:43:07 Moscow time. According to telemetry information, the propulsion system of the module worked normally. It is not planned to carry out new orbit corrections before the docking of the Nauka module with the Russian segment of the International Space Station, which is scheduled at 16:26 Moscow time on July 29, 2021. The live broadcast of the docking and docking will begin on the Roscosmos website and on the pages in the Roscosmos social networks from 15:40 Moscow time.
Nauka is a multipurpose laboratory module for the Russian segment of the International Space Station. It was created by the cooperation of enterprises in order to implement the program of scientific experiments and expand the functionality of the Russian segment of the ISS. After its commissioning, the Russian segment of the ISS will receive additional volumes for the arrangement of workplaces and storage of cargo, placement of equipment for the regeneration of water and oxygen.
