On Tuesday, July 27, 2021, specialists of the flight control group of the multipurpose module "Nauka" at the Mission Control Center of TsNIIMash (part of the State Corporation Roscosmos) routinely carried out a corrective maneuver of the module launched last Wednesday to the International Space Station.

The next impulse for further orbit alignment is scheduled for July 28th.

The day before, the Progress MS-16 cargo vehicle with the Pirs module of the ISS Russian segment undocked from the Zvezda module of the International Space Station. Last night, Flight Control Center specialists examined the docking station of the nadir port of the service module, where it is planned to dock the multipurpose laboratory module. As a result of the analysis, the absence of mechanical interference for the docking was stated. Thus, the readiness of the docking assemblies for the planned docking of Nauka has been confirmed, and an unscheduled spacewalk is not required.

Thanks to the cosmonauts of Roscosmos Oleg Novitsky and Peter Dubrov, we can see the undocking of the Pirs module from the International Space Station in 4K quality.
